| March 24, 2011 cw Men's 55 62 posts | Dumb question... Why is there a 3% surcharge if you pay with a Visa or Mastercard? It would seem to me that this would be more efficient than paper forms and checks in the mail. Perhaps SSUSA could set up a PAYPAL account and automate payments? Just wondering... |

Its not uncommon for a business to charge the consumer for processing. The County of Riverside charged me $45 on property tax CC transaction. I now go to the county office after that charge EEEERRRRR |
