"Not paypal"

Years ago before Paypal I think it was Billpay (still get statements) for Ebay.
Then came along Paypal prices were great all around then Ebay bought Paypal and now both payment services are the same. So I think if a new company starts making waves by getting most of the purchasing transactions, Ebay will buy them and over time make them the same also. Greedy company IMHO but that's how it gos.

Paypal fees are much too high but that's ok for now, it will spur competition which will make options better in the future for all.

I hope this happens to Time Warner Cable, I'm ready to pull the plug on their ass.

There is always consumer backlash when it is perceived that a business that has little competition is charging too much for goods or services, human nature. But in the wings there is always someone dreaming of building a better mousetrap whether it is driven by altruism ;^) or greed, the true benefit of how capitalism works in a free society. Paypal must remain paranoid in order to stay on top. If greed and complacency becomes the overiding consideration in their business model, they will assuredly be superceded by a better model, easier to use and cheaper. In that way we all benefit, so keep the faith, a 3.5% fee on a sales transaction will not last forever and I'm sure they are aware of it. What they may not consider to the extent that they might is that folks will readily use a different service if it cost the same or close if it is perceived Paypal has alienated them personally by being too "greedy" as is seen by some of the comments in this thread. The best option including price and convenience for the end user will ALWAYS prevail.

You would be shocked how much trouble large amounts of cash can cause. The Feds assume it's a drug deal.
