so who is the mystery "third party payment provider"?

I wish I knew. I was hoping that this signaled Amazon was opening payment processing in £'s.

The only reason I don't use S3 is because, as a very small time user, I don't want my foreign transaction fees to be larger than the S3 fees.

However, brilliant news for people who weren't able to circumvent the system. Still surprised (and happy) it came to the UK before Canada.

How bad are foreign transaction fees in the UK? For me in the US, it's just 1% flat rate (which I get back in cash back anyway).
After sleuthing I located the provider: http://www.cybersource.com/ which people here will know as authorize.net!
I'm hoping they are the first test of Stripe in the UK..... Maybe....

I will admit I checked to see if they were using stripe.js but they're not.
