Default Re: Paypal Surcharge

In the real world if a store wants to accept credit cards, then they have to pay a surcharge to the credit card company. They are not allowed to pass that charge through to the customer. What is happening with PayPal is no different. It's the price of doing business.

The reality is, if you don't accept credit cards IE PayPal then you are missing out on a lot of business.

If I would have noticed that the seller was trying to tack on an additional percent for using PayPal, I would never have bid on the item. I will look for that from now on, since it appears that e-bay doesn't automatically protect the buyer from that.
