Just went through there website (instapainting) to order - why is this becoming the norm...

NO (+$3.00) Yes (+$0)

It's free marketing for them, so it makes sense they'd charge you for its absence or give you a discount for permissions.

Better framing would be:

NO (-$0) YES (-$3.00)

you are right, as an end-user - I would not have noticed, if it was framed as above..but it would be $102 (instead of $99) for 12x12 - which would be an issue for the end-user to decide - I guess

I wonder if it would be more acceptable if instead of an extra cost it was a -$3 discount on a higher-by-default price

Probably - but then either the default price would be the ugly $103 that makes it obvious it works the other way and stops them from saying it's <$100, or the price in general would go down to $97 and they probably pull in less money overall.
