Transaction fees are just 0.3% in Europe since levying a 3% tax on every purchase is insane and hurts progress. You should probably go after those companies in USA as well.

Basically in Europe it is illegal to levy an unreasonable tax for generic services like this. The same applies to Apple.



So is Apple not allowed to take a 30% cut in Europe? How about Amazon for Kindle books? Are digital distributers allowed to charge 30%? Where does Europe draw this line?
