    You might be confusing 'handling' fee (put it in an envelope etc) with the surcharge levied by some sites for a Credit Card payment?

    Think you will find (T&Cs?) the handling fee is universally applied no matter the method of payment?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

    Although some companies do charge for debit card payments (for example, EasyJet £1 for all cards besides Visa Electron), £5 fee looks too high indeed ...
