They DON'T all charge extra - and some DON'T charge Debit cards ...
Plainly it's more difficult to program the payment system to detect the difference between Credit & Debit cards - so the simple answer is :-
"Because it's easy"
You can always shop around for a site that dosn't charge extra ..

A debit card will take the money out of your account ultimate away. A mastercard won't take funds out of any account(except it relatively is desperate up for vehicle pay). they'll deliver you a invoice each month and additionally you will could pay it. A debit card works such as a mastercard yet they are 2 differant wats of paying for for stuff.

All visa card payments get charged a handling fee to the person selling the goods. UK law was changed years ago to allow companies to reflect this in the price charged.
debit cards are still part of the visa system. they dont actually check you have the money, just that you are likely to have the money. as opposed to visa electron which does check you actually have the money.

Credit card processing companies often charge a higher percentage for debit card transactions.
As I own my own business, I have experienced this BS first hand.

They get charged by the credit card company for transactions and are passing that charge to users.
