Is it? I have never paid any hidden fee, or overdrafts. Set a reminder for every fifteen days, pump up the credit card and everything sails smoothly.

- toast0 12y agoMerchant fees are more or less hidden: somewhere between 1% and 5% of your purchase does not go to the merchant.
- kijin 12y agoThat's the same no matter what method of payment you use. PayPal charges merchant fees. Most banks charge fees for direct debit. Bitcoin has transaction fees. Western Union has transaction fees. Even if you only accept cash, checks, and money orders, it will cost you time and fuel to deposit them at your bank. The percentages might differ, but as long as you let someone else facilitate your transactions, there's no way to avoid paying some sort of fee.

The parent is talking about the system as a whole, while you are talking about your individual usage/experience. Is it not possible that your usage is subsidized by those less financially organized?
