I would be curious to know why you think this looks more promising than Braintree.

Disclosure: I work at Braintree. I'm not trying to shill here - I'm genuinely curious about how people think about our stuff vs. other payments companies.

Mostly on my end it is because it is because they are a new player in the game and need to make an impact (be it via lower pricing or other value-added means) and also because they are an Australian company. I'm also hoping that this will bring a little more competition to this space in our country as it has been stagnant for quite some time.

In saying that, 'more promising' was probably a poor choice of words and I am not discounting Braintree at all. As an early stage startup your pricing took me back a little but not enough to sway me away. I have signed up to your mailing list to be made aware of when you guys launch here and am also looking forward to checking out your offering.

Thanks for the interest. It is always good to see companies provide a presence on these forums and certainly accentuates your products to me.

Kinda offtopic: But since you work at braintree, please have a look at my comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4069105
