The point you are missing is that it's fine to charge less for non credit card purchases, just accept checks, cash, money orders etc.

However, using PaypalF/F in this manner is a violation of the user agreement, pure and simple. Is that fraud or theft, I leave up to lawyers.
I guess we both just violated the agreement then.
