I noticed threads stating that they have encountered the £1.25 charge through buying online and having it added .Not separately like a normal charge would appear from a bank but tacked onto a purchase.
Can everybody list what websites have attracted this charge.When paying through Rbs card,initialy through paypal then amazon did it.
I have £5 in charges so far and would like a heads up on the other sites that attract the extra fee.
Thank you.

So far

Ebay
Amazon
Bangcd(using paypal)

    Hi can you clarify a bit please?

    What £1.25 charge is this? what method of payment are you using?

    When I have used Amazon or eBay, I have not encountered a charge such as this.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    I have been bounced back between Rbs and paypal as they are certain they never charged me.

    It is in the terms and conditions of many banks that issue you with a debit card to make a charge for transactions with companies that are domiciled abroad (including Jersey).
    Credit cards do not incur these charges.

    Why is it added onto a payment and not listen clearly on its own from who is making the charge.
    Thank you

    Yes but you can avoid it by paying with a credit card.

    I've never been charged a fee for using any website in GBP in my hundreds of transactions using HSBC, Alliance and Leicester and Nationwide debit cards including loads of Jersey based ones.
