I agree. Too much time worrying about fractions of a point. Get your business running to the point that the 1/2 a percent makes a recognizable difference.
We use Paypal and Chargify and they work well together. It saved us the time and additional expenses of setting up multiple payment accounts.
One observation, AMEX really doesn't play well with Paypal. We've had $25K payments and the next nothing from a $17K day. Amex is spotty in what they'll accept from PP.
If you have heavy AMEX usage then go with something else. The fees are also high for PP acceptance of AMEX (3.5%).
Upon earning a ticket to the BOS 2010 I will organize an inner city program to help teach kids programming and graphic design.
Two years ago I stumbled into a park building in downtown Greenville that inner city kids use for their after school program. They have 4 computers all 486 crappy machines. I was surprised by how interested the kids were in the computers.
I asked the consulor how popular the computers were and she said it is everything to them. These kids do not have computers at home.
It got me thinking that more kids with the right exposure and teachers could become hackers.
So upon returning from BOS 2010, I will get the local ad agencies to dedicate their lead designers to teach basic design. Get local developers to do a little basic programming class for these kids and work with the YMCA in town to create an after school program.
