Yeah there no getting away from it.

20p per transaction flat rate, plus 3.4% of the total amount.

I charge my customers an extra 5% for using PayPal (they are pre warned and it gets automatically added on through my website).

loads still use it though. It's so easy for most.

Adding on the 5% works for me as If people don't want to pay the extra they can do a bacs or send a cheque.

If I was to aborb the 50p per customer it would be a substantial amount throughout the year, probably close to the £1,000 mark. If much rather have that in my hand. :)

Do you have the code for that extra 5% ? That would be very useful on our website...

Otherwise I'm sure nat jones would be able to help you out.
