I came across this site today: PayHip (https://payhip.com/)
Are they new? Does anyone use the site? Thoughts?
Cheers,

It's been mentioned in another thread. Downside with them, as I recall, is that you pay their fees plus PayPal/Stripe fees.

Yep. this is from the FAQ:
"Do I need to pay PayPal/Stripe fees?
Yes, PayPal and Stripe will still charge at their standard rates once they complete a transaction. This applies for all plans."
Also, they have a surcharge of 5% on top. A monthly "Plus" account is a discount to 2%. If you go monthly "Pro" at $99 there is no surcharge.
The question I have, more concisely is, has anyone had any luck with their service?
Cheers,

Used the PayHip / PayPal combo with BookFunnel a few years back. PayPal stole my funds, PayHip didn't give a damn and I bailed. I've not done a shred of business via PayPal since. As far as I'm concerned, they're thieves. I now run my own store, and one of the payment means I specifically do not use is PayPal.

Agreed, PayPal is a deal breaker for me. Here in the US they operate outside the finance/banking laws. They have a lot of ability to say "no" or "ignore", and do because they can.
