hahaha, i was about to explain the change, but i knew someone would have posted about it, and decided to wait.
the change from $1 to $2 has nothing to do with recession, or euro/dollar ratio.
for every €1 donation, i get only €0.61, while paypal holds 39%.
it's too much IMO, and i don't think people would be happy to know their money goes for almost an half to paypal company.
for a €2 donation, i get 1.58, and paypal holds 21%.
it's still a lot, but much better!
the percentage will lower as the money rise, until it goes under 5%.
when i say $2, i'm referring to US$. i try to keep it simple.
