I buy and sell in us dollars so It has no impact on me. Last year I used most of my profits to attend eBay live so i took my money out in US dollars when I got there. When I started selling I was getting almost 1.50 for every dollar so things have really changed the market. If i did not buy my items in US dollard it would be a big problem.

Ouch!
Would be nice if the U.S. would stop focusing on war and pay a little attention to their economy.

It's pretty dismal compared to a year ago but still better than last November.
CAN$/US$ Summary of Closing Rates
Latest closing: (12/08/2005) - $1.1969
Past 12 months
High (12/08/2004) - $1.3300
Low (26/11/2004) - $1.1759
The current fluctuations are mostly due to the rising price of oil. Bad for the US economy/Dollar, good for the Canadian economy/Dollar.

Yes but when all your CanadaPsot shipping is in CAD and all your local bills for packaging, gas, living etc is in CAD and your getting 1.16 or even 1.18 at the bank rates to convert to pay your bills. Im going to hell, as im sure alot of us are.
Think of it this way, back in the day: $10,000 was $15,500 roughly
Now $10,000 is $11,800
Difference of $3.700 (that was our work money!)
I think its just going to get worse..

But Ben, that was pre-eBay so it hardly even counts. Heck, it was pre-most eBay sellers! Only us real old-timers remember that!!
