PayPal keeps changing things [which is a euphemistic way of saying
they keep increasing their fees incrementally as they get more and
more popular], so I tracked down some of the fee comparison info:

By any standards, they are still pretty cheap and easy, but
personally I hope they don't become so popular that they end
up charging as much as everyone else.
