I suppose I will have to, since you are guilty of shooting your mouth off before a complete investigation had been performed. If you had done your job, you would not have had to write this message, since you can donate whatever amount you want at PayPal. Shoddy detective work on your part. For the record: Amazon Honor System fees The Amazon Honor System charges minimal transaction fees. The fee schedule is very simple. The person making a payment is not charged any fees at all. The person receiving a payment is assessed 15% of the total payment per transaction plus $.15. The Honor System is designed to be self-service for your convenience. That way, our limited customer service costs allow us to keep your transaction fees low. PayPal fee schedule:paypal.com Note that they charge only 30 cents for transactions under $15 and 2.2% plus 30 cents on payments over $15.Amazon's setup is extremely expensive. At some point, I would have you pay you to join. As for the rest of your comments, well, whatever. I guess you have not participated in the free sessions that we have done over the past few months, or the two years of free chat on my site, or use the free OttoGraphs, or read my free commentary or ask me here for free advice. Great, that means you're a guru too! As I said to someone yesterday, God gave you two eyes and two ears, and only one mouth, but perhaps you too, have two of those, which makes you no different than the people you have been crusading against. Teresa P.S. You need to take math class again too, since 52 weeks x $25 = $1,300.00 per year if someone is truly addicted to the market. With 24 members, that would be $31,200 per year, of which 50% would go to me, producing $15,600 - wow! enough to feed my cockatoo? If I were a truly benevolent "guru", I would actually pay you to join my room. Or perhaps, I can do one better and simply write you a check at the end of each day, just for being there, and spare you from getting your delicate nerves all frazzled by the "tough" market, as they now appear to be. ;o)
