$25 is about 10% of what I'd spend on coffee from the cafe downstairs from my office a month.
If it's a business expense then it's a tax deduction, if you're not making enough profit to benefit from a $25 tax deduction then you have bigger problems than Upwork charging for transaction fees. 
I'd prefer Upwork remain profitable and provide a great resource than have them absorb transaction fees and reduce the quality of the service. |
I hate it when people say "You can afford it. If you can't afford $25...." blah blah. We can use that argument for ANY business that raises prices and we, as the customers, are supposed to just take it like a little bitch? No. Maybe that's YOUR stance but it's not mine.
So if hosting, domains, traffic, content and other aspects of this business start charging $25 monthly fees just for the privilege of using their product or service your ok with that? On TOP of what you are already paying?
