exchange rate screwup

Aus$1 != US$1

[danny]

My payment for February earnings is showing, but it's been converted from US dollars at 1 to 1 instead of around 1.4 to 1. I hope this is just a display glitch and not a reflection of what's actually on the cheque.

I certainly hope so. It gave me a nasty shock just now!

payment (link) will be delayed, probably by Friday, until Google cleans all this mess.

clarification: I meant, payment for those on EFT. Check payments are already screwed up.

[olwen]

I don't know how you have decided cheque payments are already messed up. It's showing the payment date as 27/3, and although I'm well into 27/3 most of the world hasn't got there yet. I've looked and can't see anything about it on Google's site.

Exchange rate has now been corrected in my payment history.

1.162:1 for the Canadian dollar.

Glad they sorted this out.

My exchange rate in CDN is 1.160:1

might only be a small difference but it does make a difference.

Hi everyone --

Thanks again for all of the information you provided about the exchange rate errors. This issue should now be resolved; however, please let us know if you continue to see anything odd in your reports.

My exchange rate is now 1.624 -- that makes quite a lot of difference.

Just for those who might be still concerned, I got an email today, as I am sure did others, the gist of which was that it was simply a disply error, and does not affect final payment amounts at all.
