So if I use PayPal, with their 2.9% + .30 per transaction fee, that equals .33 cents for each dollar - that's a full third of the amount the people would be giving. Credit cards appear to be similar, with some percantage and about .22 cents per transactions.

I don't have any problems with people paying me via PayPal -- PayPal provides a service and they deserve a piece of the action.

In fact, I never have problems with people donating $5 to my cause (me) via my site -- and it happens. For example, I had one guy donate $100.

I'm waiting for someone to better that. :-)

Cheers,
