region2: can buyers charge a surcharge for PayPal - I'm in the UK!? Eugene: Hello, my name is Eugene. Welcome to live help! I would be glad to assist you with your concern regarding charging a surcharge for Paypal. Eugene: Do you mean if sellers can charge the fees they are charged for using Paypal to their buyers? region2: yep - a surcharge of 5% (for example) if you decide to pay by PayPal Eugene: I'm sorry but that is not allowed. Any fees that the seller has to pay for using Paypal or any other payment options like credit card cannot be included in the price for the item they are selling. region2: Are you sure - as mentioned, I'm in the UK and I heard it's legal!
