Wow, now that's interesting.

If Paypal is saying that, maybe those normal Visa/MC/Discover/Amex network regulations don't hold water in the UK period, due to some overriding law? Meaning that a zone or curency, rather, based surcharge could be added to all credit card modules, too.

Not that I'm in the UK, but it's sort of fascinating to me, anyway, that any country would have laws that prevent corporate rules/regulation that side more than consumers than merchants. That's an interesting oddity. Either that, or Paypal is simply referring to their own electronic debit network (where they take money out of your bank), and not the CC payments side of their service.
