High transaction fees.
I wanted to buy a product the other day, fairly expensive. The fee was supposed to be around $90.
Way to high. That product remained in the shopping cart.

What's the price of the product? I mean, what was the percentage that those 90% were compared with the product price?

The transaction fee was approx. 1/2 the purchase price. So like around $200 for product + shipping and an additional $90 in fees.
On chain. No lightning option.

Shame on the seller not accepting LN payments. Did you find an alternative product? or you'll wait for onchain fees to go down?
