Let me know where I can get PayPal's micropayment rates for the 80%+ of transactions (below US$12) that support ardour.org ...

We save almost US$0.25 per $1 transaction because of PayPal.

Nah, I hate them with a passion as a merchant but I absolutely love them as a buyer and customer.

There is a reason why after all these years and other solutions they're still everywhere, and it's not because of their great tooling, their low fees or their awesome support for merchant. It's not because of market lock in either, at least here in Europe they're merely a middle man between my credit card or sepa bank account and the merchant. It's because buyers trust it.

Buyers don't trust stripe. Stripe is for the merchant.
