If you use a payment processor like BitPay you can charge a fixed fee and exchange to USD instantly. So you set it to charge $39.95, it will charge the amount of BitCons that equals $39.95 at that very moment. And you can have it automatically changed to USD right after that, so it doesn't matter what the exchange rate does.
