The remaining ~$10 will go to thaks.dev to cover operational costs, administration and other expenses.
I don't expect them to work for free. If you think it's unfair, contact the developers directly to see if you can wire them money (to avoid PayPal fees). If it's too much work, you can pay services like thanks.dev that does the work for you.
- paulddraper 3y ago> half of that $25 goes to the payment provider (Stripe etc.) Surely they are not making a transaction for every patron/maintainer combination, but rather batching the payments. Otherwise yes this is a Stripe charity :)
- 3np 3y agoThen they should call it what it is: A fee (to cover operational expenses). It's still not honest to call it a tip. (And now I'm realizing that American tipping culture may be playing in to differing expectations here...) EDIT: I see they have now updated their wording.
- weego 3y agoWhy on earth would you think that a payment provider is taking 50%? They take ~3% + 30 cents It's literally public information
- throwaway74567 3y agoPlease take more time to read the context. If you read the post that I replied to instead of jumping to conclusions, you will find that you are incorrect $25 refers to the 5% fee of the total amount ($500) that the site takes. I said that more than half of that fee is used to pay Stripe.
