Brian Weisner Hi Keith,
It doesn't have anything to do with being "popular", it's simply against the law to pass along processing fees for credit purchases. Best Buy, Sears, McDonalds, PayPal, all play by the same rules. I'm sure Best Buy would rather have me pay cash for my new computer, but since they "choose" to accept American Express, they must not charge extra for the processing fee's it will cost them. So, if you don't want to pay processing fee's don't accept PAYPAL, but I believe the convience of the service and the increase in the number of bids in your autions will make the added fee tolerable. Be well Brian
PS I am not a lawyer, but do own a company that accepts all major charge cards.
