Kiva appears to be increasing their fees.

Maybe it's my imagination but $7.50 for a $50 loan becomes a drain on the money I have to loan.

Is it acceptable to edit the fee to something lower?

Yep, I too noticed the pool I kept has begun to shrink with some kind of fee. That will be the end of my participation if admin takes fees.

You have to manually set the Kiva contribution to $0. I don't like the sneaky way this is done--it cannibalizes the pool available for loans.

As long as its acceptable to reduce the fee, I'm OK doing that. I do believe Kiva needs some income to operate so I'll be fair.

FYI, total lent by the EhMac team so far exceeds $26,000. I'm still active, relending to various people and ventures around the globe.
