"Your current rate is: $1.00.

Senders will be charged $1.33 per email, and you'll receive $0.70 per email."

The pricing/return is confusing. So my rate is $1USD but i only get $0.70? Oh so you must charge them $1USD and i get 70% like google play/apple. Oh wait no you charge them $1.33?

Makes it hard to understand why i put in $1...

Totally understandable. The $0.33 in this scenario includes payment processing fees which we pass along to the sender. After fees, the gross rate is $1.00 and you net 70% of the gross.

We will work on making this clearer and less confusing. Thanks for the feedback.
