The extra charge for money transfer is accurate. Credit cards cost
merchants an extra 1-1.5% for overseas orders. They are actually not
permitted by credit card rules (MC/Visa) to require extra payments for
accepting a credit card from any source. They are supposed to bury all
these charges in their pricing.
