The problem is not that credit card companies charge large fees. The problem is that they do not allow to pass the fee on the customers. Because of this I don't like European regulation - instead of capping the fees they should just make clauses that not allow merchants to set a card acceptance fees, illegal. The clause that doesn't allow passing fees on the customer is the only thing that makes market non-free. I think it would be only fair if people paying with a card were charged more. They get the cash back from the bank anyway. Also I know that there are super-discounted stores in my country that do not accept cards for this reason. | |||||||||||||||||

They absolutely allow you to pass the fee on to the customers... as long as you phrase it as a cash discount from the posted price, instead of a credit card fee on top of the posted price. | |||||||||||||||||
