Purchased something from a UK based vendor a few days ago and there was a 4% surcharge for using Paypal.
Are vendors/retailers allowed to do this?
I'm guessing they are as they were doing it.
Never come accross it before.

I think 4% is pp transaction charge to a retailer.

X&Y You really do need to name & shame this UK vendor, so that others do not incur the 4% charge.

So long as they're up front about it I think it's fair.

I have never purchased anything via pay pal with a surcharge so thier small print needs to be very large for it to be fair

Convicts. |
