We don't bill much with Stripe but have been using it for a very long time. At this point i have to say that Stripe is just extracting it's tax. Anything you do on Stripe is taxed. If you want to get an invoice paid that is charged 0.4% and then you have to pay $2 just to generate an invoice to provide proof of transaction to your customer. And then recurring billing charges went up to 0.7% (from 0.5%) without any reason. (recurring billing charges are over and above the base fee).
