[QUOTE="GregH, post: 2758673, member: 75936"]I want clarity around the actual price, I guess. Buyers fees, plus whatever the unfavourable currency exchange rate is, plus whatever mystery figure the postage turns out to be, makes the actual price less transparent. You know, in Australia, the shelf price of an item in the supermarket includes taxes and it's exactly what you pay at the counter. You don't need to do any calculation. The seller's problem of pricing structure shouldn't be shifted to the customer. My point is, buyers fees are an irritation, and no value-add to the customer. And unless a business places the customer at the centre of its business model, it will die in the 21st century. There will be new businesses that aren't as irritating to deal with. I'm not sure seller commission has disappeared either. Certainly Roma and CNG still have this. I haven't enquired more widely though.[/QUOTE]
