What do I need to pay to avoid costing you anything?

From what I understand, paypal charges you per item sold through them. As such, if I pay 0.01, it costs you money.

Is that basic assumption accurate? If so, how much do I need to pay to avoid costing you anything? How much do I need to pay before you actually see anything? (What's paypal's spread, in other words)

paypal charges percent of the transaction, base is 5%. But if the paid fee is less it charges more percent. Lets say 10$ is 5%, 5$-7%, 1$-25%, 0.50$-50%. Minimum to pay if you want to give Kyle any money is 0.31$. BTW, 0.01$ actually doesn't cost Kyle any money, but it doesn't earn them neither. 0.01$ costs PayPal.

Please give more the 0.31$ World of Goo deserves it! :)

Trust us, it does. The average price people are paying for this indie award-winning masterpiece is about $2.43! It's worth at LEAST $11!

I agree it is worth more.

In the last ... two years, I've bought one game. And no, I don't pirate games.

Hmm, when was the last game I purchased before mario kart wii? (used, off ebay -- my roommate's wii console) More than two years, now that I think about it.

(Heck, the last two movies I paid to see were harry potter films.)

I'm not a cheapskate. I'm just dirt poor.
