I've just recently for the first time in ages used Paypal for invoicing and was charged about 5%.

This is insane. I was charged over 90 USD to invoice 3000 USD? Isn't their process automated or are they still doing accounting by hand. I could pay an accountant to do the invoice for less.

Why are their fees so high (aside from demand/supply) surely this gives room for a startup to come in and take the a fixed transactional basis rate?
