Not possible from latest (25/07/03) conditions:

The conditions are:

Both the buyer and the seller reside in the United Kingdom;

The purchase price is paid in Pounds Sterling;

The surcharge imposed by the seller is no greater than is
necessary to recover the receiving fees incurred by the seller; and

The seller clearly indicates to the buyer prior to the buyer's
submission of a bid or (in non-auction transactions) prior to
the completion of the purchase that a sucharge will be incurred,
and the amount of the surcharge

Apologies, I see what you mean. Some might deem that underhand.

Maybe but tey have the option of not paying by Paypal. I see the surcharge
on my auctions as a deterrant more than a fee recouping excercise as of all
the methods I accept payment with Paypal is my least preferred as it takes
so long to get the money from Payal into my bank account. However many
bidders want to use Paypal so I offer the option if they want to but they
can pay for my inconvenience. Not many small businesses can afford to sell
and ship high value (relatively) goods and wait for 10 days until they get
paid.
