I would not call these fees competitive, but there is no doubt that Paypal provides some useful management features. So yes, using it while it's a reasonable option makes sense, but IMHO, we should not just settle for it and look no further. Paypal already is massive and I'd much rather see us pick a smaller, innovative competitor. In particular, I think we should not foreclose the possibility to accept crypto-currencies, e.g. Bitcoin. Paypal itself is in the process of embracing Bitcoin (as it enables them to pay less money to its partner banks etc.) and there is no reason why we should give them such a large percentage of turnover. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@debconf.org> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16 in your country? https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16
