Hi Urs,

that's hard to say, but let me show you the actual fees for donations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 USD (all amounts that have been donated already).

1 $
33 cents fee, 33% deduction

5 $
50 cents fee, 10% deduction

10 $
69 cents fee, 6.9% deduction

20 $
1.08 $ fee, 5.4% deduction

50 $
2.25 $ fee, 4.5% deduction

100 $
4.20 $ fee, 4.2% deduction

Personally, I'd say gifts under 10 USD have a bad fee ratio, but that's something you have to decide for yourself.

PayPal isn't all that cheap, but it's easy to use.

Regards,
Simon.

Did some calculations based on 1€ ~= 1.29$ today, always rounding up. And your right, everyone has to decide themselves what fee one's donation is worth.
Wat'n heck meck. ;D
