Nope, Usually credit card transactions are free for the payer (provided
they pay their bill at the end of the month) while a percentage of that
money is lost if you are the payee to the credit card company (if it
were a flat fee for the service, it could be a business expense; as it
is, it is a cost of handling the payment). The CC contract insists on no
surcharge (to the customers) for CC payments for the very good reason
that most businesses would want to pass that handling fee onto the
customer, and the CC company's business model wouldnt' survive that
happening.
