Charging my Friends $5 for using my credit card on ebay

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I buy goods for friends from eBay using my credit card account. For every item, I add on e.g. 5 dollars because I’m using my name, etc for the transaction without telling them. Is this permissible? If not, what is the way out?

Bismillaah

A: Make it known to your friends that you will charge a small profit to cover your effort and other costs.

باب ضمان الأجير : قال الأجراء على ضربين أجير مشترك وأجير خاص فالمشترك من لا يستحق الأجرة حتى يعمل كالصباغ والقصار لأن المعقود عليه إذا كان هو العمل أو أثره كان له أن يعمل للعامة لأن منافعه لم تصر مستحقة لواحد فمن هذا الوجه يسمى مشتركا (الهداية 3/ 308)
