Also anyone who contacts me now about extras, price has just gone up as the dollar just took a dive off a cliff so anyone who contacts me I'll quote price in pounds now
Wow. What an incredibly shortsighted and uneducated statement. Have fun with those GBP once brexit completely destroys your economy.
So what you are saying is I should lose 30 percent on every set of sliders sold today right, because PayPal does the very kind service of taking payments sent to me now and converting it to my currency, being pounds, at an even worse exchange rate than it should be, so please explain your statement as to why it's short sited and uneducated for me to ask for the correct amount of money to be paid for a product I am selling and give me a better option rather than insulting both me and my country
Or are you just intentionally trying to act like a prick
defiantly the latter.
Well the thing is there is no evidence yet that the dollar and pound are changing that much in comparison to each other. http://www.investing.com/currencies/gbp-usd
It's not like ctrl[alt] made a change to benefit US customers when the pound took a beating after brexit.
PayPal have I guess preemptively hedged there bets because my dollar balance right now in PayPal is worth considerably less
In the past I haven't had to change prices with things like brexit where the pound has changed, because we both pay for things in dollars as well as charge for things in dollars
But with sliders they were paid for out of pocket, and my pocket is in pounds, all I meant by my statement was whilst the dollar is in a state of flux in the PayPal co version rates, I'd take payments for them in Pounds rather than dollars
It's a decision that I am entitled to make and shouldnt have to be attacked for doing so

Ah I didn't know it was a PayPal thing. I just thought it was a general market thing. My apologies.

PayPal's rates are always terrible, they must make a fortune out of it
Let me be clear, I'm not moving ctrl alt stuff to a pounds rather than dollars place, we have always worked in dollars as it's the currency most people are comfortable with, but, as this is selling extras that I've paid for, and I've paid for them in Pounds, what makes sense for me for a couple of days is to charge which is to me my baseline currency, because then no matter what happens with the dollar over the next couple of days, it won't impact me
If the actual exchange rate hasn't changed, then me charging in pounds for the handful of people who want extras for a couple days won't cost them anything more than before
