<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1976368, member: 37498&quot;]Sadly, what this does for consumers is raise most prices by around 3% because PayPal isn&#039;t the only payment service doing this.&nbsp; Credit card processors do it too.&nbsp; Most vendors who follow the rules of their payment processors simply set their price to account for the highest fee they could encounter during a sale, and people paying cash pay a higher price to accommodate credit card fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one possible solution, at least at some small businesses where the owner or cashiers might still have some flexibility.&nbsp; While it is typically a violation of the ToS of payment processors for a merchant to advertise a discount for cash, or add a surcharge for credit cards, a customer can always ask for a cash discount.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think obliging the customer in this way violates the ToS of most payment processors, but I could be wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Example: Both of my local coin stores accept credit cards.&nbsp; Neither of them expressly add a surcharge for doing so or advertise a cash discount.&nbsp; However, both of them will give a cash discount if the customer asks, even on bullion sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
