Same for MP3 purchases.
Indeed they do, now. However I'd still like to be able to put a heap in a basket and checkout once so I know the total cost.

Debit cards are a small fixed cost plus a modest percentage. Credit cards tend to be a fixed cost per transaction plus a (larger) percentage. Hence why some places charge you 2-3% extra for using a credit card.

Anyway not all of the cost is in the banking. It costs any business something to make a sale, on a per sale (transaction) basis. It might be vanishingly small, but it is finite.
