   Heh - I have a just the opposite problem - I get registrations for my
   shareware program from all over the world, including Australia, and my problem
   is that I sometimes receive checques in Australian dollers.  The problem is
   that they cannor be cashed in Iceland.  I can cash a personal checque from the
   US, but not anythin in Australian (or NZ) dollars...silly, isn't it...

Yup, same problem here.  If it's not drawn on a US bank, it costs me
$19 to process it.  For an item that costs $23, you don't make much
on that kind of transaction...

VISA/MC does currency conversion cheaply, but getting a merchant
account these days is like pulling hens' teeth.
