Not all travel agencies in the UK do that. I just booked some tickets from UK - Dublin with ebookers, no fee for using debit card.
I wouldn't have accepted that fee either (£55).Maybe Expedia was a fixed fee? Tas was charged around 2%

No chance of that yet in the UK. Too much fraud. Even the smallest amount on a credit card means using pin no.
