Contining the theme of this thread, http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=38154, here is a poll asking if you support the idea of the Smugmug cart being available in a currency other than US$.
I'll let it run for 3 weeks and see what the results are.

cheers

    I see it is getting a lot of attention:cryheadscratch.gifcryheadscratch.gifcryheadscratch.gif ...only 3 votes and from the other thread I seriously thought more of you outside the u.s. would be jumping on this poll like flys to milk.......Come support those out side the u.s......the dang almighty u.s. dollar isn't the only currency and I have over past years bought flowers, candy and other stuff from very small stores in other countries and been able to pay either in the us$ or Czech Kournas and I alsways opt to NOT pay in Euros if I have the option..........

    Hi Andrew, the poll is nice but won't change our thinking.

    If we could add it in easily we'd do it. It's something we'd love to be able to offer. There are other things ahead of this on the list though, I'm so sorry to say :(

    I voted for foreign currency transactions :)

    EDIT: PS, how many US peeps are actually going to take the time to vote? This poll will attract the people who want foreign currency transactions - we get that :)

    Offering prices in foreign currencies will not fix all the problems. For example, ordering photos and having them sent internationally is very expensive and not something people justify when they are ordering only one or two prints. It would be great to see prices available in other currencies, but you will then also realise how expensive postage from the US is.

    I realise that I won't change your thinking. I also realise that it is something on your list and that there are things in front of it.
    But if at one of your meetings you have a choice between this and something that is equal, then I hope this attention will tip the balance ... :D

    Yes, I realise that it is a leading question but the squeeky wheel gets the oil... :D

    Baloney! That may be an Aussie-centric perspective, but it is not an American perspective. Quite insulting.

    And for the record Mr. Scott: It's "U.S." with capital letters. But you knew that...

    I shoot a bit in Europe. Isn't there a photofinsinsher there that could do fulfillment for the EU? Shipping kills costs and turnaround times when it has to come from the States.


    At least EZ is in Altanta so its a bit quicker than shipping from some other places.

    that image is hilarious, but not cos it bashes the U>S> just because it's satire, most satire on any country is funny cos it exaggerates things to make them humerous or satirical - (YUROP" just kills meLaughing.gif:) gotta be able to larf at satire on one's own countrymwink.gif - anyway, although i voted for the foreign currency, I did so as it would be a nice idea but it aint' hapening, I know that, and anyway I can work out a dollar is about half, no problemo

    No need to be insulting!
    ..it's not constructive..

    but I would love to see a link betwen SM and a UK based provider, such as fotoinsight who it turns out have the smugmug.co.uk domain and are actually quite good!

    its the one thing holding me and a number of others back from a pro account

    please keep us informed of any progress at all in this area!

    Thansk guys
