I agree I use it to accept those kind of payments also and the rate is not a problem.
Don't know how anyone can stay in business doing anything with a 3 or 5 point mark-up. Even selling apple computers my markup is better than that although I don't need to do pay pal for that. But 3% plus .30 cents should not make a big difference in any sale or else it is not worth selling the product in the 1st place.
