Any - as long as PalPal does the conversion | Jan 3, 2013 |
In the end, I have to have US dollars, but PayPal does the conversion for me. Other than US dollars, I mostly receive euros and Japanese yen. | | |
nordiste Francia Local time: 15:35 inglés al francés + ... Euro and dollar | Jan 3, 2013 |
99,9 % euro as all my customer but one are in Europe. Agencies in countries that are not members of the Euro-zone also pay in euros : Switzerland and UK in my case. Bank transfer in the Euro-zone is (almost) costfree with my bank, as it is part of my Internet banking package. One Australian client pays in US dollar via Paypal. | | |

Euros and Sterling. I have a separate bank account for each. I have previously had customers pay in dollars but the fees (either for a cheque or Paypal) are so extortionate that it is simply not worth my while. | |

Euros, Sterling Pounds and Dollars in separate bank accounts. | | |
Tim Drayton Chipre Local time: 16:35 turco al inglés + ... EUR, USD and GBP | Jan 3, 2013 |
Almost all of my invoices are denominated in the above three currencies, although I am happy to deal in any currency that the client wishes. The last time that I invoiced in another currency was in 2006, when I charged for an assignment in Turkish lira. | | |
JaneD Suecia Local time: 15:35 Miembro 2009 sueco al inglés + ...
I have to deal with SEK as well as EUR, GBP and USD. I am hugely in favour of a single European currency, not just because of exchange rates but also because SEK are about 10 times EUR and all the 000s make my brain hurt! | | |
Allison Wright (X) Portugal Local time: 14:35 As long as it is convertible | Jan 3, 2013 |
I have a preference for Euro, but any convertible currency which does not lose value against the Euro in the time it takes to pay me is acceptable. | |

I have previously had customers pay in dollars but the fees (either for a cheque or Paypal) are so extortionate that it is simply not worth my while. My situation is exactly the same, except that my euro PayPal account has a second balance in USD: anything that comes in in USD stays in USD until I want to buy something on the internet that's priced in USD. Mind you, now that I'm in Spain I bank with a company who don't charge anything for accepting anything, and their rate of exchange is reasonable, so I can accept wire transfers from anywhere (as long as the client pays expenses at their end). They don't like accepting cheques, though (not even from Spain!). | | |
Money is money | Jan 3, 2013 |
I voted three, because most of my payments are in Danish Kroner, Sterling or Euros, but I happily accepted New Zealand Dollars last month and don't mind USD if offered them. The rate is far more important than the currency, although one Norwegian client's bank has a nasty habit of docking a large sum for administration. I find Norwegians are normally so obliging... At least it is a fixed sum, and I often do medium-large jobs for that client. The small ones would simply not be worth ...

Euros, US dollars and British pounds. | | |
GBP or bust for us. If I bought something from abroad, I wouldn't expect to be given a price in GBP. Our customers are also in a better position to assume currency risks than we are (i.e. bigger). | |

I really do not care what currency they pay me in. I set my price according to the exange rate, and my bank fix everything else. Money is money. I get my money, and everyone is happy. | | |

These days it's CAD, USD, GBP and Euro, for most of my clients. But I accept any currency as long as it can be handled by Paypal or my bank. | | |
