"Swipe consumption requires a 20 yuan handling fee." In all electronic markets in Zhongguancun, if you suggest paying by card, most merchants will remind customers to pay the card-swiping handling fee. Regarding this, UnionPay Beijing stated that consumers are exempt from handling fees when they make purchases by card; dealers should pay the handling fees and are not allowed to impose them on consumers.
