The charging of a fee to use a credit card is also a violation of a federal regulation. And, it is also a violation of the merchants credit card account agreement. All PayPal and eBay are doing is following the good advice of their attorneys.
Now, I take great delight in reporting all of these "please add 3% to the price sellers" to the proper authorities. It is almost as much entertainment as reporting spammers. And, I consider both to be the same type of individuals. Now if the seller offers a discount for cash, check or money order this is more than acceptable. -R- On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 20:47:16 -0800 (PST), john robles wrote: ->I found out that it is illegal in California to charge an extra fee to cover credit card acceptance fees, but some people are still doing it. >>>HACK<<<
