That is a good point. Agree totally. And for local businesses it's fair.
But to play devils advocate, it's like back in the day when banks gave out debit cards and they were free to use as a consumer everywhere. Years later the fees started. I'd guess ebay will do the same. It's a slow squeeze! hahaha
It's still a great site or was.
