    And why is that “mildly infuriating”?

    Charging a fee to accept payment is ridiculous. If a cost is unavoidable then it should be included in the price.

    I accept that some payment providers charge more than others but there should be at least one that is free even if that means adding the cost of the cheapest one to the base price.

    Ideally they would all be free and you’d just add the average cost of payment processing to the price.

    There was a time in the UK when you could get a flight from Manchester to London for £8 but the final price ended up being ten times that due to additional costs that weren’t optional.
