To be fair, it does require just a bit more algebra than that.

For US domestic online sales, G&S fees are $0.3 + 2.9%. For those making a BST ad with G&S fess, use this:

y = What you want after fees. Plug this in and solve for x
x = What you need to charge

x = (y+0.3)/0.971

If you want $100, you need to ask for $103.29

It's the responsibility of the seller to figure this stuff out. Period.

"Net to me" is the lawyer version of "Please add shipping cost and G&S fees if you don't use PayPal F&F". Clearly a way to try to circumvent forum rules.

It's a ludicrous trend. I hope it disappears soon.

That sounds way too complicated. If only there was a way to search for a tool to do this calculating for you.

You could have provided the link without the dig. This is another example of internet anonymity. You certainly wouldn't have made the same statement face to face.

Sure I would have! The only difference is you would see my friendly sarcastic smile while I do it. No dig intended. Laziness is just efficient living.

The BST has what appears at a glance to be a few slippery & shady shysters, both foreign & native. I avoid them, but nonetheless if so they should be......................culled.
