    For purchases? When did this start?

    Since when? I regularly pay for items purchased on ebay using my credit card & I have never been charged a fee for doing so.
  • I think the dood who said "3.4% credit card fee" is referring to traders ACCEPTING payments via Paypal (merchant fee). I've never payed a fee for purchases with my CC company or Paypal.
    I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another, so please feel free to ignore this.
