In my e-mail today:
Multiple Item Transactions
Buyers making multiple purchases typically want to pay with just a single payment, and that can be an administrative headache for
sellers. Now when buyers use a single payment to pay for more than one auction, they'll be able to enter the item number for
each auction separately to make sure you can track your sales.

That may be - it is not in their news yet - but this is:
<<International Pricing Change
Notice Date: February 28, 2002
Effective Date: March 21, 2002
To comply with credit card association regulations that prohibit a surcharge on cardholders, the fee structure for international transactions must be changed. Beginning 3/21/02, international buyers will no longer be charged a 2.6% fee to send a payment. Instead, a 1% fee will be assessed on Business and Premier account holders when they receive a cross-border payment. The 1% cross-border fee applies to any payment in which the buyer and seller reside in different countries. [The cross-border fee will not currently apply to Canadian sellers receiving payments from U.S. buyers.] >>

Billpoint already charged a 1% fee, the two are becoming more alike in terms of fees to some extent. The big difference is that PayPal has many more features than any of the other payment processors. Billpoint didn't even let the seller know if the buyers address was verified until very recently.
