Yeah, welcome back. Want some lobster?

But yes, their cut is ever-pushing upwards, undoubtedly because there's no real alternative. They're sort of the Windows amongs...

I hate their guts for being a monopolist and for their gouging, but what PayPal does do well is lower the virtual transactions bar. Consumers and merchants are comfortable with PayPal.
