While it's not "illegal", it is against their rules. Also, for anybody with a merchant account of any kind (Paypal may fall under this in certain circumstances), it is also against the rules to offer a discount for a cash/check transaction in lieu of a credit card payment...........unless you are selling gas in certain selected states.
