surcharging

So I stumbled onto this topic recently:

https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments-Archive/PayPal-fee-charged-by-merchant/m-p/838392

 

 

And alot of people state that surcharging isn't allowed. Yet, thus far I've noticed that it isn't entirely true. The no surcharging rule mainly seems to apply to US while in several other languages it allows it, along as it is according to the local regulations. 
Can anyone confirm this?

Look at the user agreement for your country as some may allow it depending on how it's done. In the US, you can't say are surcharging but you can institute a handling fee (not calling it specifically a PayPal fee surcharge) but it must be a consistent flat rate fee essentially amongst the all orders and payment methods you have.

Thank you for your response. Everywhere I looked it said it wasn't allowed altogether.

Should I put this on my site if I give the option for paypall, in case if I were to sell internationally? So people are aware of my country's paypal user agreement by any chance?
