Merchants are not allowed to add a surcharge for using a credit card. The credit card folks won't allow it. They want you to spread the cost over all your customers so it isn't so obvious to consumers how much the service actually costs.
And, in addition to the 2-4% fee, there is often a monthly minimum, or a minimum transaction fee (it depends on the brand of card).
For example, Paypal is charging me 2.9% + $0.30 (US) or 4.2% + $0.30 (international) for every purchase on my website.
