Thanks

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.
