well im sure the most of you have heard the expression
"damned if you do and damned if you dont"
Just to make one thing clear this change has nothing to do with any kind of changes in the EU . Its merely OUR preferred way of sending invoices now .
WHY ? because it is alot easier for us and in the end hopefully less time consuming.
Those of you who are complaining about YOUR extra bank fees, that is something you have to talk to your bank about. Im GUESSING you are talking about an International transaction fee that you bank or Credit Card issuer collects everytime you make an overseas purchase. Some Credit Cards do that (i have some too that do) and some dont , so maybe i would suggest to check out which ones dont (just generally speaking for other purchases as well).
The conversion rate is a lot better then paypals that is for sure , paypal does not do what it does for free , read up on it if you dont believe me . They MAKE their money through conversion rates and the only way to avoid that all together is to have a multi currency account.
Actually for the normal person this new method has more payment options , (because it offers Apple Pay as well).
I can see where pp brings a small advantage over other payment options in that it allows under certain circumstances a pay in 4 or so months which is of course great for the member who wants to use that function .
Anyway that said , changes are coming , like it or not . This is just the beginning of them . Some people dont adapt to changes too good (i admit i am one of those) but this unfourtantly will not stop the changes.
If this method is unbearable for you then i dont have an easy answer for you , i wish i did.
Take care
