Namecheap in Euro

I asked namecheap if they could bill in currencies other than USD, and this was their reply

 Sorry, we do not plan to introduce billing in currencies other than USD. Domain trade is done is this currency and *even if* we billed you in another one, it would include all bank charges that might be greater than those of your bank. Thus, there's no real need for billing in multiple currencies.

You might request our developers to add the rates in other currencies as well, but these would be nothing more than values for your information that do not include any bank charges, etc.
