Hey all,
i might be being silly here, but i cant find an option when i create a wanted
list, to check off items i have in my own store.
Is it possible to do this without creating a new account?

A single combined shipping/handling fee makes it simple to understand and so
what’s to be peeved about? Almost anywhere you buy from online operates there
shipping charge in this way and as long as it’s not extortionately above actual
shipping cost then I see no problem!

My peeve isn't that sellers are combining costs. It's when they claim
they charge no fees and add a handling fee into the shipping cost. It's the
claim that irks me, not the process.

I say: I charge actual postage cost + $1 fee for handling: $4.99

Other sellers say: No Fees here! Shipping cost: $4.99

If you are charging no fees, then the order is the LEGO plus postage only.

Whats the difference? I really don't get your point because a shipping charge
is a shipping charge regardless of whether the seller chooses to include a small
amount of handling in that charge or not. One seller may charge $4 shipping whilst
another may charge $6 shipping but they're still just an upfront shipping
charge and unrelated to any other hidden or added fee that you or a buyer may
later take issue with!

When a seller claims "No Fees" it very much relates to any hidden fees
beyond that of the basic shipping/handling charge which every buyer already anticipates
and appreciates having to pay. This chosen shipping/handling charge amount can
vary between sellers (within reason!) and so to be concerned over delving so
heavily into the way a seller words and merges their shipping charge is just
being overly pedantic over something that the buyer really doesn't care too
much about!
The buyer just wants to know your total shipping charge, they don't need
to know a breakdown of how you came to decide upon that shipping charge as with
that logic you may as well also disclose to them how much you paid for your parts
and how much profit you're making from the sale of each of those parts!?

  'just put the charges into the prices' would include the fees for paypal
I assume.

This would be unfair to a large portion of the buyers within the EU who have
the option to pay with IBAN (if the seller has this activated). With IBAN there
are no fees. Why would a buyer paying with IBAN be confronted with higher part
prices that include the paypal fees?

Some sellers put in an additional fee to cover stuff like driving to the post
office. Pretty much anyone else agrees these costs should just be considered
overhead, and be covered in the price of the product. Then you get a request
for local pick-up, which obviously doesn't need that drive. Are you suggesting
pricing-including-travel-costs is now unfair to the person doing local pick-up?

Keep things simple, don't stack on fees but offer price-of-product plus shipping
cost.
