Actually, PP told me one of the reasons they have that rule is it's against federal law. You can't charge the customer for the fee, it has to be figured into the cost of the item, or chalked up to a cost of doing business. They said it's the same with sellers who accept credit cards and have a merchant account. They have to pay fees for that, but they also can't charge customers for the fee. I've been to gas stations before and bought a Coke with a CC, and they've let me have it free before, because with the merchant fees, it would have cost them more than giving it to me free. They don't do it often though, or everyone would figure it out and try to get stuff for free. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> This is also why some companies won't accept CC unless the purchase is $20+ etc.

PayPal said the only way around the law, is to word it as having a set price, but offer a "cash discount" if not paying with an electronic payment method or CC. That way it's the same as, but different legal wording to keep out of trouble with the law.
