These so--called convenience fees are illegal. It is against the law to charge a surplus fee for using a credit card.

I see one major auctioneer has started adding a "convenience fee" now
for all card payments on their auctions at short notice. . .

I don't have a problem with an auctioneer setting
uch terms for payment as long as he does it
penly and up front. I can make up my own mind as
o whether I want to pay the fee, which applies
nly to credit card and Paypal payments. If I
on't want to pay the fee, I can skip the auction
r choose some other method of payment (such as a check).
