In your title or description did you say something like "not zenith
transoceanic", or "not like zenith transoceanic"? If so, that is keyword
spaming so that when someone searches on zenith transoceanic they get a
hit on your set which is not a zenith T/O, which is pretty sneaky at
best. As far as the paypal thing, how would you like it if every time
you use your visa or mastercard the merchant adds the credit card
percentage he pays to the price of the product.

Actually they used to. Then the CC companies forbade it in
their merchant contracts -- everyone had to be offered the same price
so the card companies wouldn't be at a perceived price disadvantage.
Hence, in covering his CC costs, the merchants collected frpom
everyone regardless. For a while, some gas stations offered a
discounted cash price, but that didn't last long either. I do notice
that Exxon stations in California still manage to add on a fifty or
seventy-five cent surcharge for non-cash purchases. No idea what the
legal status of that one is.

Bet you would really
scream. Ebay makes it very plain in their rules about the above
infractions so you really have no reason to cry. Why should the merchant
be gouged for having a convient way for you to pay?
