Suppose the dollar weakens even more and the rate will be ?1=$1.20. I'd pay a total of ?8,333 instead of my original ?8,626 for my chairs. Now how could this be bad for me eh?
That's importing. You're putting money INTO the US economy instead of taking it out. When you get paid by a processor you're taking money OUT, and that money will have less value in your country, which is what would concern european webmasters.
