Good to know. I'll admit that I'm not at all familiar with how Paypal operates.

So the vast majority of those sales were giveaways rather than money pits. Thanks for setting me straight.

Actually, the majority of those sales were profitable, they sold 57 000, and only ~22 000 of them paid below $1

Gah. That directly contradicts the 1up article!

I'll take Eurogamer's word, since they back it up with extremely precise numbers. Chalk up more misinformation to sloppy journalism and over-use of the term "vast majority." It was barely even a plurality of the pricing segments laid out by Eurogamer.

Edited the OP with your superior link.
