We're paying 19.6% VAT on all european customers. Our company is in France and French IRS came to visit us a few times already to make sure we respect the law :)
Our prices have always been the same in USD and EURO no matter what the change was. We don't and can't bill our customers by ourselves and have to rely on third party processors for that. Creating a new payment option with them (a new pricing if you want) takes time because they have to review the whole site again for compliance. So it would be difficult to follow the exchange rate and nobody likes to see prices like 1.73 EUR, it's bad for the business.
So we chose to keep the same prices in USD and EURO, recently the dollar is cheaper but I remember that back when we started it was the other way around... ;)
