2% (credit card fee) is "excessive", but 1% is "ultra (!) low cost"?

The fixed transaction cost is really what eats up low value transactions. 30 cent fee means anything below 30 cents is unusable. A 2 percent fee with no fixed cost would be fine with me. If you know of a processor that does this, let me know.
That’s a fair point, I had not considered the micro transaction aspect.
