Hi 

I copied it from paypal, no problem
It was probably not very constructive to voice my opinion on this ;-)

Ben,

Don't know where your numbers came from.  Here's the fee structure to  
receive a CC via Paypal:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees

Receive Funds   1.9% + $0.30 USD to 2.9% + $0.30 USD

You must open a Premier/Business account, but that doesn't seem like a  
big deal.  There's no fee to transfer funds to your bank.  To me, it  
seems like a moderate cost way to accept credit cards.
