I live in the US but I also have a bank account in an EU country where I transfer
USD when it gets close to parity with the Euro. I spend 1-2 months in europe
every year so this has helped hedge against currency exchange rates. So I've
already jumped through all those hoops in order to have banking accounts as a
non-citizen.

So...

is it at all possible to have two paypal accounts linked to my store where people
paying in USD would route through my US account and people in the EU would route
through a European account?

Hi, I reside in the USA and recently started a BL store and am accepting international
orders from several countries. This post is mainly geared towards other sellers
who do the same.

I currently have it listed that I accept USD, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar,
and euro.

#1: should I try to list all the main currencies from the dozen or so countries
I sell to and add those to my accepted currencies section?

#2: should I only accept USD? I ask because I know that just accepting US dollars
eliminates the need for me to pay the Paypal conversion fee, but also, does that
seem to block out a substantial % of potential buyers from my non-US customers
(in your experience), Or do non-US customers tend to be able to pay in USD with
relative ease.

I accept PayPal onsite payments only.

I realize that I have to make the final decision but I'd appreciate any input.

Thank you very much!

Hi

Why is Bricklink charging me with a rate of 1EUR = 0.9289 USD

XE.COM says it's 1 EUR = 0.996012 USD

The difference is absurd !

Hi there,

I would like to know the part out value of some of my sets.
Unfortunately the price guide only shows the POV in US dollars.
In my account settings the current value = euro's, so I'm not quite sure
why the part out value is shown in US dollars.
So I'm, wondering Is it because I'm only a buyer (not a seller)?
Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards,
Mendy
