Question Dollars and Sense (Yen, Euro and Pounds too...)

Folks,

I know that I've been threatening this for a long time now...but the new revamped Koi-Bito website is almost ready to go live! I know, I know...you'll believe it when you see it, but do be prepared!

Anyway, online shopping is going to become a much better experience for you all, as your website and forum account will be one and the same after a bit of initial wrangling. Your billing and shipping addresses and some additional info will be stored along with your account, so you won't have to do a lot of typing each time you place an order. This will indeed be a good thing.

Now on to the real reason behind this post: Are many of you either confused or put off by paying in Japanese yen? Would it be easier if I were to switch to say...US Dollars? I understand that the denomination that the Yen is traded in make prices look larger than they actually are, and this seems to be putting a lot of people off.

I can switch to US Dollars for the online shop, and you can then in turn select either Yen, Euro, Pounds once redirected to our payment processor WorldPay to complete your order. Would this make things more understandable for you folks? I want to do what's the easiest for my customers, so let's have a show of hands right here and now!
