0.5% is less than 5 cents + 5%.

For a $1 transaction, Paypal/Amazon would charge 10 cents and Stripe would charge 0.5 cents for a bitcoin transaction. Unless you're talking about credit card transactions.

I am talking about credit card transactions. I plan on accepting bitcoin, but I want to accept normal payments as well. Right now it seems like Amazon + Coinbase will be my choice.
