VONYC isn't the size of Beatport or whatever, and most likely do have to pay an upfront credit card fee. So they would be loosing a lot of money if they were to see tracks at $2 each. Beatport probably has a deal with the companies since they are big enough, so that they can afford to sell single mp3s.
For example most small stores wont let u use a credit card unless its a sale over $10 here anyway. Where bigger stores it doesn't matter.
I think people should just be happy that Vandit got something working.

Ok so why don't they let Beatport or Audiojelly sell their tunes so that their customers can get what they want cheaper???

Because maybe they just want to give hardcore fans a way to listen & download their music?
People that are not hardcore fans anyway will just go and download it anyway. Why not just download it if you want cheaper and cheaper prices? No matter what, people will never be satisfied.
And, why should they let some other service sell their music?
I have another good idea, Vandit should release more tracks a year so they too can be like blackhole & Armada (& sublabels) signing every single track out there inflating the market.

It's just business. Some companies can afford to take a hit by allowing customers to use a credit card for small purchases, others can't. It's not their fault. If you want to complain, complain to the credit card companies, but even they have to operate with certain policies in order to make money.
And are you sure that you have to buy a voucher in increments of €5? Because you should be able to pay €5.16 for 4 tracks instead of having to spend €10 if the minimum purchase is €5.

edit: I forget to mention that beatport doesn't do that $5 minimum purchase crap. just buy and download, easy as that. Although after browsing the site, they don't have a lot of PVD-Vandit related stuff.
Like with Beatport, does Audiojelly do that too?

Yeah you can only buy credit in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50 euros.
You cant pay €5.16, you have to buy €10 of credit and spend THAT.

Yup, Beatport and Audiojelly both have you paying the exact amount. No credit bullshit
And FWIW, as far as I know credit card companies charge the company 2% of the total for the privilage of using Visa.
