FeeFighters definitely has one of the most professional and usable interfaces I've ever used. It's gorgeous, not overdone, and functional.

Edit: Wow, even more the guy behind TSS Radio started it. Huge supporter of Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge, very happy to support Fee Fighters even more now.

Wow - I've become a huge fan of feefighters over the past couple of months... This is awesome - great job guys! I had no idea that they already had high profile customers like stackoverflow and Okcupid

FeeFighters was amazing when I was setting up my merchant services! They even wrote about my company http://bit.ly/h9sESp

I don't want to be a hater but I can't say I've had the best service, I've sent 3 emails around my solution needs (one directly to Sheel from a comment he placed here on HN) but no response, from the looks of the other comments maybe mines a one off.

It's hard - I try my best to answer every one of the 50 or so messages a day I receive while operating my startup. Every once in a while one drops through the cracks, or a few if I don't re-check my inbox, and I feel like a real ass.

Oh no! I couldn't find the email in question- it's entirely possible that I deleted it off my phone accidentally. Please re-send and I'll get back to you tonight

Any word on when it will be available outside the US, particularly in the UK?

Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to launch in the UK in the short term. It's too hard to build the competitive marketplace we need to do in each country. We're launching Canada later this week.
