RE: Thanks to your activism, Patreon has rolled back their fee increases

in #dtube7 years ago

That’s exactly right, they aggregated them and charged monthly, rather than as the payments came in. There’s no other way to do micropayments without getting eaten alive by fees. Credit card companies don’t allow merchants to talk about it, but they typically charge 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction.
Still unclear how Patreon came up with 35 cents, that extra 5c is a stinker.
