Online stores: a weak U.S.A. is the cheapest due to the weak dollar

PayPal tested the offerings of more than fifty online stores. During the test, prices of various products were compared in Western and Central Europe and in the United States. The results show, that the price of the same products can differ by up to one hundred percent in different countries.

The clear winner of the comparison became the United States, thanks to the descending USD exchange rate and because of the fierce competition between the online stores. The compared products are available even 10 percent cheaper in America than in Hungary. Due to the current low dollar, the price of many products is unbeatable, even with the shipping prices and duty costs – reports penzcentrum.hu.
