This episode covers the card surcharge ban and what it actually means for shoppers and small business owners. Host Miko Santos talks with Dr Marian Makkar, a marketing academic at RMIT University, about why the surcharge ban has pushed some retailers to raise base prices instead of removing the cost altogether. Makkar explains that the ban stops surcharges but not other fees, such as platform or service charges, leaving a loophole retailers can still use legally.
