I understand your point. If they are going to add the 3% or what ever, I know my processing is closer to 3.5% it should be made very obvious in the auction. The bidder needs to be warned to keep the fee in mind when they bid.
Most new guns of gunbroker come from the same wholesaler. All of us dealers know what the competition paid. I find it interesting that a lot of the guns are sold right at cost. The only profit would be if they make a few bucks on the shipping or they got a sale price from the Wholesaler(normally 20.00 off the regular price). The Dealer that builds the cc fee into the price will not make many sells. Only the smart shoppers will figure the math out.
As an example I just sold a new G39 (cash sale)and profited a cool 10.68 on the deal. On a new gun that's not an impressive sell by my standard. I would have been at break even if he used Visa, or MasterCard. Up side down had he used Discover.
