EBAY will not let the seller require the buyer to pay billpoint fees or
credit card surcharges. This is illegal in some states so they just prohibit
the practice. I don't know what other selling services do but EBAY got on my
case about that.  /jnm

  One obvious way around the $1500 limit is to split it up into 3 parcels.
  Seems reasonable given that buyer is the one putting restrictions on you.
Let
  them pay for the shipping and insurance and any added to cost to the
credit
  card (Billpay) transaction.  Bill Barber
