    On eBay Jefferson Spouse auction # 280153459345 the seller states (at he bottom of the listing):
    I accept PAYPAL, PERSONAL CHECKS, CASHIER'S CHECKS, AND MONEY ORDERS.
    (must add 3% for Paypal use)
    Is this allowed? Can you add Paypal fees or do you have to include that in your overhead?

    It is strictly against eBay rules to charge more for Paypal users:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-surcharges.html

    if you expand the section "Some Examples", it clearly says that

    Not permitted: Charging an extra fee to use PayPal.

    P.S. What metal crystal is in your avatar?!

    :secret:My avater is lab grown BISMUTH. The crystal forms do occur in nature but these lab grown ones can be stunning in their colors and intricate designs. I had some displayed on a mantle in my home but someone took it. I got it from a Gem & Jewelry show about 20 years ago.

    NO!!!! you cannot impose a surcharge for using PAYPAL,. This seller is is in the wrong. Take my word for it, or look up Ebay terms and conditions.

    For a first offense, the seller will be admonished by Ebay, if they have a complaint on record and investigate the auction(s).
