On an item I recently sold through my site, I charged $20.00 plus $3.00 for shipping, so $23.00 total sale, and PayPal took $0.97. I don't find that to be awful. Usually if you except credit cards yourself, they charge you a per-transaction fee.

I agree, the fees are really minimal. even etsy fees on a 20.00 sale would only be about 90 cents. I pay almost 3% per transaction on the merchant account I have. But I think it is important to have if you want to increase sales at shows. So many people don't carry around an extra 150.00 or so in their wallets, and I do not like accepting personal checks since the NSF fees can actually cost more than the purchased amount.
