I had my CC out ready to support a company for a fun game but I can't in good conscience support a company that would gouge based on payment method and/or give a break for a different payment method.

$50.77 for CC payment for 12k MC and $49.29 for Pay Pal payment.

its due to the CC companies own fees that are placed upon the retailers
it happens everywhere, some places foot the bill them selves, others pass it on to you
setup a paypal account , attach your CC to it and use paypal
but chances are paypal might dock you a CC fee anyway so your back to square 1

I dunno how many places actually exist that doesn't charge a fee of some kind based on what your payment option is. Most places even break it down pr. card type used, some are more expensive to offer your customers, so they cost more to use...

This has nothing to do with PGI it is your CC.

What country are you from? When I go to buy MC, it shows $49.99 USD for 12,000 MCs, but when I try to buy with Credit Card (I'm in Canada), it says it's going to bill $50.96 in CAD. So it's doing some currency exchange on the fly. Is that your difference?
