Yeah I definitely missed it and it caught me by total surprise today. I imagine many are in the same boat.

This also comes after they've adjusted their policy so that they keep all fees even after a payment has been refunded. They're getting less and less attractive every month.

Keeping the fees on refunds bugs me so much as well and is completely out of line. Sadly everyone seems to do this now.

We haven't gone live with it yet, but following this change I actually went comparison shopping a little. I'm planning on swapping my payment processing over to Braintree.. which is still paypal.. but actually does have less fees. It has the benefit of still being able to accept paypal payments (at the paypal fee rate) but lower fees for credit card transactions.

The last time I went comparison shopping I figured Wirecard was a good deal. I even got a quote from them and planned to switch to them. But I was a lazy procrastinator, so I did nothing for a couple of months, and then all of the sudden I read about them on the news...
