I think she could buy insurance if she really wanted. I've thought about this a lot because I could easily be in this situation. If I did anything on my own I would need a group plan quickly. You only need 2 people to create a group. So y

Looks like I kinda missed the point. Although I'm not planning on leaving paypal any time soon. Their fees are just simple. Merchant Accounts have so many different fees you have to keep track of, and on top of that you have gateway fees.

I like the site and think its helpful. I have to say it isn't for my case though. I'm using Paypal's website payments pro for my current app, and that comes with a monthly fee not factored here. Also when I looked at using a real merchant a

I'm pretty sure they are only interested in books purchased on the device. If you don't purchase it on the device they don't get a cut.

From what i can tell it looks like the satisfaction rate has declined since this went live. I wonder if the fact that this is public info has changed the responses some how.

Most all of the special vehicles and secondary markets I have heard of require you to be an accredited investor to participate. You have to be somewhat wealthy to be an accredited investor ($200,000/year income or $300,000 if married) I've

Paypal covers both Merchant and Gateway bases. So do Braintree and a few others. If you have your own merchant account you can use paypal for just the gateway, but I don't think this happens very often.

Chrome makes Google money in the same way that articles make the Huffington post money. The Huffington Post makes money on ads. Every user who uses Google Chrome is a user that isn't using another browser. This means Google makes more money

Chrome and Android make google lots of money, yet people that aren't google employees still commit to the projects. Google pays them nothing. I don't find this exploitive, and I think this is very similar.

Not sure why people are voting you down. I've written quite a few tools for coding that have gone unused, and its exactly where my mind went too.
