You can buy currency with or without a fee. But nothing is free in this world. Without fee means a bad rate, and you are right, Paypal is among the worst. About the exchange rate. I have solved it in another way. I have three accounts with my bank. Euro USD and GBP. The Swedish business is made in SEK only with a Swedish broker so it is no problem My Paypal also have the same 3 currencies. So when I transfer money from PP to my bank, I transfer in the same currency as I got paid. If I then need to exchange money, I do it in the bank.

Most of these brokers cover their losses by different kind of fees, and they do it well it seems. Paypal is one of them and the worst fee is if you get paid in one currency and then either want to pay a supplier in another currency or want to transfer the money to your bank account that is in another currency. No one has as bad exchange rate as Paypal PLUS a fee. The big credit card brokers mainly use the official bank rate Our Swedish broker uses a system where they make a credit check on the buyer for every purchase. It is done without human intervention during the checkout Fraudulent buyers and sellers have always existed and will always do. It has become easier now with e-shops and credit cards. But the card providers also make it easier. My new bank card uses wireless technique to just be placed close to the machine and your payment is done without even using a pin. Even if the amount is limited It is a dangerous way.

I sell in 4-5 EU countries and use Paypal, except in Sweden where we use a national broker that has also invoice possibility. Its expensive machines most. But for the rest I am not interested in being a bank and because abroker want to earn money. I pay in advance to the supplier for all sold goods Why should I have to wait. There is no technical problems. And especially when different merchants are treated differently depending on where the have the business

Many European users will stay away from Stripe because of their payout policy. Also Japan has the same problem we found out yesterday

I thought that home category only means that the products can show up on frontpage. I show random products on firstpage have set the category to 2 which is Home

For Cyprus where I live the amount is 30000€ before a seller from another EU member state has to register for VAT here

Where you payVAT depends on your sales in that country. If you live in f.ex Bulgaria but sell a lot to Germany you will have to register for VAT there if you come over a certain amount. This amount differs depending on the country.

Åland Island belongs to Finland but the natives speak Swedish like me

Å is a Scandinavian letter. We have Å Ä Ö å ä ö. Å is like a long o Anders

May I ask for what reason? Why dont use TB directly?

I am looking for a php programmer for a paypal REST integration job if someone is interested. The TB developers are disqualified, they have more important things to do ;-)

Mine is very stable. had some module problems but the developer fixed them

In my opinion TB is much more ready than PS 1.6 has ever been. Just check so the modules work. Most do but not all due to the much cleaner code in TB

I will make you do that for the next one ;-) The uppload from supplier comes as a zip which I download and uszip using a cron every Saturday. The import module then pick them there. In the db I have the full URL and the developer explained that the images get resized when called first time

That is not an option in my case. I never have the pictures, I upload them to the web server directly from the supplier

Insight claim my png should be 77% smaller

Running the shop in Goögle pagespeed suggest to use GZ compression of the images. Is someone using this? Any difference?

Yes but with so many different sites on the server I will have both options but need to free an ip to be able to have both running as pure web servers on the same machine without chnaging port numbers

I have now upgraded the server and use nginx as reverse proxy in front of Apache. As soon as I have a free ip address I will test to use only nginx But already now I feel like the rendering time has improved

Interesting article that advocates the same that 50 others do, use both together.

What does Nginx do better than Apache? Seems that you pros prefer that solution

TB ofc. No edit button around

Is there anyone in this forum that have tested to run TH (or PS) on a Nginx. Outcome?

Then we setup a test like that and install a tb for tests

When you get it ready I can publish it in the Plesk catalog if you dont do it yourself
