At Tipit.to we haven't sent out a single payup reminder yet and we're seeing a percentage of more than 50% (more than 75% if you exclude unverified accounts).

I like the idea that instead of taking a fee, you allow the tipped to optionally tip Tipit.to. It feels right.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the tipped amount ended up being more than 3%. Any stats?

We have the default set at 10% (but people can slide it back to 0 if they want). Right now we're seeing a tip back percentage of 4.3 percent.
