Details from Steve Sailer steveslr Hi, this is Steve Sailer, the guy behind iSteve.com and hundreds of articles you may have enjoyed over the years. My Amazon Honor System PayPage provides you with an opportunity to be a patron of the arts and letters (a.k.a., to give me money). Donating to me is fast and easy. Just click "Pay Now" and the deal is done in no time. As always, your credit card is secure and your privacy is protected at Amazon.com. You might be interested in how big a cut Amazon takes. It's quite reasonable: 2.9% and a 30 cent fixed fee per donation. This has some implications that are fascinating (at least to me). For example, if you donate $1.00, then Amazon keeps almost one-third of it, or 32.9 cents. I only get 67.1 cents. Well, that would be pretty pointless, wouldn't it? I mean, you aren't feeling generous toward Amazon, now are you? Yet, if you kick in only a buck, they keep a hulking third of it. A much more efficient solution is to (drumroll, please) give me more money. If, for instance, you donate $10.00, then I get to keep a full $9.41. Not bad! If you are into optimal efficiency, consider this: I get to keep 96.8% of a $100 gift! Yet, if you gave me a $1,000,000, I'd only get to pocket 97.1%, so that's barely more efficient. (On the other hand, if you really want to give me a million bucks, there's no need to mention it to Amazon -- I'll just come over to your house and pick it up directly, and mow your lawn for you while I'm there.)
