Exactly the point. They are being paid for already as "cost of doing
business" so the merchant need not ask you for more.



I have the right to refuse PayPal due to their charges. If someone INSISTS
then I have the right to refuse their business or ask for reimbursement of
the charges.

I ran a substantial mail order business and some people wanted to come and
pick up their orders. Not only did I not charge them shipping, but I gave
them a 5% discount because they were not using our shipping "resources"
which were normally built into the product price.

My objection is that PayPal/eBay wants to control my freedom of speech by
telling me what I can and cannot say. I prefer full disclosure and let the
buyer make their own decision. Of course, this hurts them as then everyone
sees that they raise the cost of doing business (regardless of the merits of
their service).
