$ account in the EU?

Is it allowed?

Hi,
I have been reading this forum and I have read, that, if your billing address is in the EU you have to choose Euro as your currency? Is this true? If it is, it would be a shame, as today one euro is approximately 1,32US$! (and the minimum bid is 0.05 cents for both currencies!)

Good question!

I've been thinking about this also as I would spend a lot less...

We are in the EU and have been using since the begining the USD and there is no problem. We are being invoiced in USD and we have to put USD in our expenses.

There are better ones then USD.

Voyteck what about taxes? Do you pay any taxes relating to your US account?

Hmmm I,ve tried to make a new account and if I put my correct adress(Country) G automatically puts my currency in Euros.

Any ideas?

JoaoJose, I am 99.7% sure that this should be no problem at all, when creating a new* account. I will triple check and post again, once I am 100% sure.

In the account creation process, in the step after you've entered your keyword list, you have the opportunity to change the currency in which you're billed.

This step shows your keywords in the Traffic Estimator. Just above the Traffic Estimator you'll see the words Choose currency and maximum cost-per-click, and just below those words you will see a drop-down menu with the currency options. This is where you make your choice.

* It's worth mentioning that the currency in which you choose to be billed is just about the only thing in your account that can't change after the fact - at least at present. So you'll want to exercise care in making this choice.

Thanks for your answer AWA. :-)

Anyone on EU using a US account can tell me how it works with taxes, do you pay any?

[JoaoJose]

Well,

It seems that all accounts from EU have to pay the same taxes despite the being in $ or any other coin.

So where can I find a list of minimum bid/coin . I think this should be very interesting for some obscure keywords. :)
