Every store that takes a credit or debit card has to pay a transaction fee. What they do is markup their prices to reflect those charges, across the board, even the cash paying customers have to pay it which is unfair to them. The main reason people use Paypal is the speed of it, no one has to wait for the mailman to deliver the check, wait for it to clear, etc. So why should the seller have to pay for the buyer's convienence? If the customer doesn't mind the 3% extra, then so be it. At least with the extra charge only affecting the paypal users, the cash payers don't suffer, and shouldn't have any complaints. In a sense, the cash people are getting a better price or a 'price break'
