exchange rate screw up - google's payment

[toldan]

For the last month, I earned $3,000 US and Google converted $3,000 US as $2,500 Canadian.

This is total screw up.

They'll fix it...they always do...don't worry...

This month I earned $10,000. Hopefully they don't screw anything during next payment. :)

Same here, except I am in Sweden, and my rate was way off.

I got 0.133 : 1 instead of 7.48 : 1.

Yes,

It is very fun to receive 2% of what you are really supposed to get....

Bet its not.

Cant see how this could happen.

[surin_p3]

I bet they did this on purpose....

Either they need the extra money or just checking how people react.

Quite simple, some idiot at Google got their calculation wrong - it happened with a number of currency payments recently.

The Swedish calculation according to the figues given above should have given the publisher 7.48 local for his dollar. but if you divide rather than multiply, that is 1/7.48 you get 0.133, which is what they sent.

There are a number of thread on WebmasterWorld about this at the moment for example
