CLAIM (I had spoken to them about it because I wanted to split the payment on 2 cards) they get nothing from the fee and do it as a "convenience" to make it easier for some folks to pay and for them to GET PAID with less delay. Credit card processors do charge a fee. 14 years ago it was 2.5+ % for our business. I'm sure it didn't change much. Up in NJ in our town there was a fee and my daughter has a fee in VA.
