Just saw this article on my facebook, which would explain this (at least in the USA)

Not to mention that Paypal just jacked up it's conversion fees.
latinjoe22:
I mainly sell to US buyers who are more willing to buy now. And I tend to buy more domestically. Plus, as others mentionned it, Paypal really is making it harder and harder for both Canadian and US buyers to buy from each other. I Wonder why.... it is senseless because it's like commercial suicide for Paypal.
Oh, and I'm sure this is pretty much related to our dollar drop: there are more people at shows buying their stuff there now. More than before. Local shows seem to have drawn in more attendance as well.
