"We can only accept prepaid orders in US funds."
at the risk of sounding like a whinge (it is!), us outside the US
are continuously frustrated (and a little insulted) that US orgs,
more or less uniquely, refuse to process funds received in other
currencies. This has been eased a little in recent times by the
increasing acceptance of credit cards like VISA. Imagine the outcry
if the aliens started to say "we will not accept greenbacks".Flame off.

You would understand if you experienced converting foreign funds
at our local banking institutions. It is often a slow process
(often taking days) and subject to what often appear to be
excessive surcharges.
The flame is well deserved.
