I´m agree recently placed an order for a relatively good Price set but ended
up with a fee of 0.35 euros plus 6.5% of total order..

What I want to tackle is very broad and quite complex subject, so will try to
do it in parts. Would like to ask everyone for cooperation and keep it as close
to the subject as possible.

Part one - Fair Competition

Do you agree that majority of the buyers are using price-guide / wanted list
to choose the shops to buy from?


example
shop #1 has lower item price, but charges fees that significantly effect the
end-price (which comes with an invoice)
shop #2 has higher price, but does not charge a fee of any kind at all besides
shipping

everyone naturally wants to get the best bang for their buck, so large part
of buyers buy from shop #1, where often they actually end up paying more than
they would have paid in shop #2


results
1) buyers end up spending more than they thought they will
2) shop #1 has an unfair competitive advantage

PLEASE - just need focused opinions, so we can be done with it and not get back
to the same discussion further down the road, or keep this discussion contained
in this topic.

Do not discuss the necessity or fairness of some fees in 'this' topic.
I plan to host a new topic for EVERY single fee sellers are coming up with, so
we can have focused discussions and avoid talking about 1001 thing at the same
time (and achieving nothing).
