Not sure why anyone would want a $$ US account when they're getting paid more ££ UK pounds than ever before.

So they can buy traffic in dollars and not have that effected by the ever changing exchange rates and so that they can convert it back into pounds whenever the exchange rate is favourable (like right now).

Seems logical to me.

Because as I mentioned above most of the people that work for affiliates like us are in third world countries and usually only accept dollars in monies which means you have to pay them from your sterling account.

... which when they insist on only receiving Paypal is an additional kick up the arse. 2.5% on exchange rates? Ace.

I'm working with some of my bigger outsourcers in sterling now, which works so much better for me. Worth asking: it's not much trouble to set up a sterling paypal balance.

Yeh, works out well that way. I was thinking they would be buying their traffic in GBP if they're based in UK, but thats only probably true of the bigger traffic sources.

Fair point.
