Weekly Release for Wed, May 20th, 2009

Aaron, Pamela, Nestor, and everyone --

Let me just clarify the point about Amazon fees: we are waiving any potential additional fees on Meetup's side on all Amazon transactions. We've never collected extra fees and are now confirming that we won't be doing so in the future. As Nestor points out, we hope that this will eliminate any uncertainty and allow you to plan if you'd like to use Amazon Payments through Meetup to collect your group-related payments.

The fees that remain applicable are standard transaction fees that Amazon Payments imposes. For more on these, see this article in our Ogranizer Resources Center.

Thanks,
Ana

(please note that I've edited the original posting with what I hope is clearer language; apologies for any confusion)
