What a difference a year makes! This year being the election year, it is predicted for very favourable currency exchange rates for both British and Canadian & European Sellers!!
Here is a chart below with some examples of savings that some of our sellers have made by selling this month, rather than last year.
The rate of exchange in May 2015 was 1.57
The rate of exchange today is 1.44……..a difference of 13 cents or pence
