OK. I have an empty server in the middle of Europe (Strasbourg). 32 Gb Ram 10 cores 100% SSD. Could shops in a bigger geographical area have use for such server?

OK that I grasp. Now about Elasticsearch. Must the server be in the same server as the shop? Same network?. Or can there be one server connected to multiple shops over internet?

Following this thread with interest. Looked on the Algolia web today and on prices. Can anyone of you experts explain what 10000 records mean? 100000 operations?

@alwayspaws yes, but not the shop. Another project that I am working on Feeling better today?

Anyone know a chat script that work similar to the one in this forum. With the chat visible when you scroll the page

I have even an account in Russian Rubles in Moscow. My wife is a translator and does some of the jobs for a Russian agency. The problem is to get the money out without paying huge fees

What I understand the Amazon fees are even higher than Ebay?

All EU by law, but the banks is probably reluctant if they dont know you

All are reachable from the same internet bank and I can transfer between them when the rate is good.

I have three different accounts. One for each currency

We sell on Ebay also but to higher price than in the shop. And explain why the price is higher. I have notised many customers that buy first time on ebay but next time directly, because they find the shop address in the delivery note

The onl time i would need to let PP exchange is if I have no time to transfer the money to the bank and do it there. With this new EU rules the transfer take max 2 days so normally it is no problem, just some work. The bank exchange I can do instant in the Internet bank

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
