Not exactly, they charge 10% or allow you to setup your own merchant gateways.

That 10% is well worth it for having them deal with the tax/VAT madness.

Well, not exactly too. They charge 10% by default, but allow you to set any percentage (including 0%) regardless of the chosen payment mode. The only fees still left are the payment processor ones.

Personally I have set 30%, because they deserve it.

No, they literally allow you to give them 0%. The 10% listed is an example as it's the default, the slider goes down to 0% if developers don't want to give them anything.
