Cost Of Doing Business With Paypal Currencies

Posted in Grrrrrr, In My Humble Opinion, foreign-exchange • Tags: , , ,

A while ago, I popped an extra $1,000 CDN$ into my paypal account. Although I have posted a few times in this blog about the rising foreign exchange rates here and here, I didn’t think much of the running balance in my paypal account.

All I do recall, is that I had about $XXXX dollars in $CDN plus $YYYY in $USD … then October 2008 $ZZZZ revenues in $USD was added to my paypal account .. and for some reason - silly me - I thought $XXXX + $YYYY + $ZZZZ = My Balance! But, I was wrong - as I found out today - I needed to pay some bloggers for the HART-Empire Network today and had to dip into the $CDN balance fund.

What’s Going On With The Foreign Exchange Rates? And Should I Care?

Posted in foreign-exchange • Tags: , , ,

Living in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada .. everything is in Canadian Dollars. That is our local Currency and everything that goes with our “offline” lives.

However, online, I get paid in U.S Dollars .. Although, only a small portion actually goes into my Canadian Bank account (I transfer my Google Adsense only - as the rest is left in my Paypal account and put back to finance my online activities also in USD$) .. I did receive an extra $79.86 CDN today on my Google Payout of $426.77 USD. WooHoo!

That’s great! Because .. well, I spent $160.00 CDN for plumbing repairs today :D So, it helps!
