Sure. She only deposits the checks. I'm glad you guys know how our backend works. She has to do accounting entries in her books and also separately on several screens of the backend. We do not have everything integrated as we are not some huge company. Next after activating she needs to manually send check paying members a welcome email. Add it all up and it takes time. Our bookeeper is a CPA and if you figure out the minutes it takes to do it and adjust by the rate it comes out about right. If you don't like the surcharge then pay by credit card or go elsewhere to other sites that are free. You pay 15 bucks for a gallon of fuel or 6 bucks for a glowplug. Sell $1000 of stuff on ebay and figure out what that will cost you.

You either feel our value proposition is worthwhile or it isn't. IF it isn't don't upgrade. Plain and simple. Complaining isn't going to change anything.
