You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the "handling" fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions. ("Handling fees" -are common in the ticket sales world.) “
What do I do if a vendor is found to be breaking this rule by implementing a fake tax on sales to cover this fee and advertising a 3% only for PayPal purchases on their website? Would this payment be eligible for refund by PayPal if the merchant refuses? What penalty occurs to the merchant if this is reported to PayPal?
