Thanks, 5xmom, for buying a spot on my Scratchback widget. Finally, it doesn’t look so pathethic with 5 empty spots :)


I love the idea of ScratchBack by James Kukral. Take note that you don’t get the 100% of your set price for a spot. I chose USD 2.88 for a spot on my widget. I’m going to get a nett of USD 2.22 only because of the additional cost of PayPal and Scratchback commission. OK let mne bring out my calculator.. 

Gross:   2.88

less 10% 0.29

=============

         2.59

Paypal   0.37

=============

Nett     2.22

=============

I do not know how much PayPal charges, and I’m only deducing based on the Total Earnings reported by my Scratchback’s dashboard. I may be wrong as the charge could be before or after the 10% is deducted.

Maybe somebody can come up with another Scratchback clone without going thru PayPal’s 12.8% ‘tax’. It seems to me that programming such a system would not be that difficult. Note that Scratchback is letting advertisers keep 90% of the income during the beta stage. After the beta, you only get 50%.

Again, THANKS 5xMOM.
