Normally the merchant pays the fee, the merchant in this case is epassporte and its coming through as a cash advance so they dont have to pay a fee, you do.

i appreciate your answers... but given your very clear explanation, the question lingers.... isn't this just plain out wrong?????
epassporte charges a loading fee and I essentially pay for their CC fee through the cash advance billing..........
I dug up my cc statements... i had 2 epassporte transactions back in october 2005. i have orderd my nov and dec statements now.
then in feb 2006, i resume with monthly transactions.
there was no cash advance fee on the oct 2005 transactions, so somewhere between middle of november 2005 and feb 2006 is when the epassporte transactions changed to this cash advance model.
