That said. I am in business here as a business not a hobby.
That said,I bought my wife an expensive set of Gold earrings and a ring yesterday, Reduced combined S/H was $12.95. Excessive? I think not. Cost to post probably will be about half of that or less (UPS).Someone has to pack and ship these and I’m sure they would like to be paid for that also.You may work for free, I don’t.
Since I started selling in the 60’s there has always been a Handling fee for time involve in preparing and shipping any item, In fact most “as seen on TV” include a second item free for only a processing fee.
I think that online Mom & Pops seller should learn a valuable lesson from very successful online infomercial Guys, Shamwa, Ron-co, Jack La Lain ,QVC and so on.
Why do so many think they know more that the big boys, My feeling is sellers need to learn from those who have spent years learning how to present their products successfully.
Shipping items for postage is not realistic, True It’s your booth and you can do as you please, But remember one important thing,When you do exact shipping you not only short your self the time and supplies necessary to ship your items, You also do a dis service to all other sellers who do charge S/H, Again It’s your business.
I spent 5 hours Packaging and posting online Monday preparing items for shipping, I will not work for free, How about you?
Another sore spot with me are sellers who list items with ridiculously low prices and then show item out of stock once you purchase these items, If you do that, Shame on you.All you do is give us all a bad name here on Bonanzle.
You will never be the lowest priced seller here, So why not be the very best merchant you can be offering good products at reasonable prices with fair S/H.
We all want to see Bonanzle successful, Lets be the best we can be.
Wishing much success to all Bonanzler & a very Merry Christmas to all of you.Larry
