CDN $ VS US $

[amethyst1415]

I sell on .ca and .com (I guess that's what it means when I ship to both places) but I am wondering what is the best pricing.

Do I list in CDN dollars or US dollars? I was listing in US dollars and have now switched to CDN but is that going to annoy the US buyers? HELP!

Personal opinion is depends on where most of your customers are. If most are Canadians then probably list in $C. If most of your customers are/should be Americans then list in $US.

95% of my customers are outside Canada.

The American dollar is the most currency for international transactions. many countries have adopted it as their national currency. Many more have made it their de facto currency.

Over one half of all US currency is held outside of the US.

I totally agree. That has been my pricing policy for years.

Today, about 75% of my listings are in Cdn$ and 25% in US$
