Re: WordPress.com accepts Bitcoins

Bitpay charges almost 3% to have your funds in USD. ...SO its pretty close to paypal fees..

Don't forget that when a merchant like WordPress receives payment from customers in other countries, they get charged "cross border fees" of an additional amount (~1% extra).

~1% is just the extra fee, they also pad the rate.

For a $5 wordpress upgrade, collecting from any foreign country, PayPal will take 30 cents plus 3.9% plus their 1% margin on the exchange. so in total, about 11% processing fee.

If those are the types of fees a company has been paying for the last 15 years, they would not bat an eye at our 2.69% all-inclusive fee.

Are they offering any type of discount for bitcoin use?
If yes, what kind?
If no, why not?
