I donated $25 directly through childsplay.org via paypal. I was just wondering does paypal charge fees for donations? (direct transfer from my bank if that matters).

PayPal is evil so they probably do take a cut :( but at some low major merchant rate not the rate they gouge me for.

Anyone else have some PayPal sitting in their account? Child's Play passes 100% of what they get on to the hospitals and they'll make good use of it. The Penny Arcade guys pay the salary of their employees, not your donations.
