Not only against Paypal terms, but it is illegal in California starting in July.
It isn't hard to simply add 3% to your store prices to cover the fee.
But sellers who tack the fee on later get the advantage in the price guide, which
I just consider to be dishonest.
Personally, I least favorite stores that do this, but I will continue to push
Bricklink to change to terms of the site to prohibit junk fees.

I particularly like this one that I came across with today:
In my store, I have no lot limit, or any other hidden fees. I only charge
$1.50 to cover handling and shipping supply costs (in addition to shipping cost)
plus 3.5% of total invoice value to cover my store's overhead cost. We will
not send missing items. We only refund their value.
|
I saw a store in the US that said 2.00 was added for things like bubble mailers,
tape, pens, stamps and even gas to get to the post office. The list had a lot
more but the stamps and Pens really had me laughing.
I don't understand how people do not put themselves in the buyers shoes.
If you are going to charge a fee like that you are better off not saying anything
at all.

| We separate out shipping and handling costs as some states do not charge sales
tax on these items so we try to help buyers where we can by lowering their sales
tax. https://taxhero.net/blog/sales-tax-on-shipping/
