Is it me? re: net sales...

Might want to clean up the language. Having no integrity isn't a rules violation, but dropping F-bombs in an "open" forum is.

It's your right to spend your money where you choose. I would however say that my 100 or so customers on here who have left me 100% feedback would view it differently. Anyways that's all I have to say about this subject. It's just a whine fest and I wana be no longer a part of it. Spend your money where and how you will. I will continue to say NET and sell my items. Choose or not to buy it doesn't matter cause the mortgage will still get paid 😁

Keep up the attitude, thousands of potential "customers" read these threads.

I know I have looked at your sales threads in the past and will never purchase anything from you now.

What a nasty tone you have.

Hey I just posted something for sale in the Gadgets & Gear section. The price is net to me. Anyone who is in here whining about it is welcome not to buy. All others add 3.5% or send it as a gift. Thanks

I'm curious as to how you come to the 3.5% markup? That's more than what PayPal charges, isn't it?

For some it's easier to ignore than except defeat. Most of y'all can stay on here and ***** and whine and moan about a guy trying to get fees covered on something he is selling and I will just carry my happy *** off to the forums and sell my stuff as I always have and get good feedback in the process. If ya don't like it then **** ya 😁

Is there really a need for all that?

If you don't mind, what exactly does NET shipped mean?

Foul language in the family friendly portion of the forum much. Joined this year I see, with how your attitude is, I'd imagine a short stay.

Frankly, we don't need you here.

Im not going to apologize for my actions. For those who say they won't buy from me fine, you haven't bought anything in the past so that's a pretty weak "threat". People just make no sense at all. This thread is about what's wrongs with the world in general. You can't speak your mind and say how it is without a bunch of folks being upset and offended etc. It's stupid. If you don't like something then don't deal with it or buy it or whatever but you don't need to let the whole world know about it to make you feel better. Grow a pair and move on

Yea been here a year and have many many happy customers and many who have come back multiple times. Just because I don't deal with BS and have a backbone I'm not needed here? Haha that's funny. I'm sure a lot of the people who got stuff that I sold them and they really enjoy would most likely disagree

So you can say what you want but when anyone else does it.. it's stupid?

We're speaking our mind just as you are smart guy. As to the grow a pair line... take your own advice they'll keep you company because no one here will.

Burn the bridges here and you'll see they aren't easily rebuilt. People stay on bladeforums for a LONG time. And remember D bags.

Yet you stand here alone? They leave themselves open to being victimized, nothing smart about it.

I'm preaching to the choir here. You guys have covered every pertinent point clearly.

PayPal fees, shipping fees, even credit card fees are all 'The cost of doing business'. Any sales transaction is business, whether you personally are a hobbyist or not.

Those ardent members who must pound their chest and create a price, then declare 'net to me' are missing the opportunity to WOW someone with a one-stop great deal: One Price - To Your Door! :thumbup: :)

That's good business and good community. I don't look at that price and say "Hey, it should be $15 cheaper", (but I'll pay all the costs.... ) :rolleyes:

Buyers are impulsive. 90% of the knives sold are unnecessary purchases. Give them ANY stumbling block and you lose an opportunity.

I don't buy much, but when I sell, I give one price. If you are nickling and diming to the point where ten bucks gain or lost is impactful, you are doing it wrong. :(

Hobbies are supposed to be fun with community, and business is supposed to be honest with building clients satisfaction.

'Net to Me' forfeits both.

Agree with Jim 100%.

The way I see it, if when you're selling you can't be bothered to actually calculate the price you want to be paid, I can't be bothered to buy your item.

I didn't even know it was against Paypal policy to roll seller fees into your sale price. I don't see how that's enforceable unless you're providing everyone an itemized receipt, either. But when a seller is asking me to calculate his expenses as well as write the check, I'll roll my eyes and move on. When I sell, I'm explicit about the cost. Fees and shipping are included except when I explicitly say they're not, and the only case that's true in is for international shipping.

"Net to me" is either being a jerk over a few dollars or being a lazy seller, IMHO.

And that's not even getting into the "Net to me..." and then "YOU JERK YOU SHORTED ME BY ELEVEN CENTS" jackhattery.

Part of what happens here that makes the place worthwhile is pointing out those who, for various reasons, may not be the kind of people folks want to deal with.

Burn what bridge? None of the people who don't like what I say bought from me anyways. I think I said already what you can do if you don't like what I have to say. Anyways, I'm done with this thread. You all know where I stand. My stuff is sold F&F or net to me. Don't like it don't buy it. As I said I will eat steak and pay the mortgage anyways

Apparently you aren't very intelligent if you think people who have purchased from you in the past will be your only clientele.

Hang around here long enough and you'd learn some things. But with your attitude, I doubt it. Good luck and thanks for outing yourself for what you are, a loser with an attitude from hell.
 
Shipping/tracking included in the price with Paypal goods,always worked well for me and my buyers.It is simple and right thing to do.Have a great 2017 everyone.Cheers.
 
City74 said:
I always say net to me or f&f only. I sell a ton of stuff and have great feedback. It's just a mindset to buyers who won't buy listings because the seller posts net to me. When you buy retail at a store you are paying net to the store, what's any different here? I don't get it. Anyways, I will happily keep selling my stuff 😁

You're in violation of the agreement you have with PayPal every time you ask the buyer to either pay the fees or you ask for payment to be made via Friends and Family. People who are willfully dishonest don't get my business or a lot of other people's business from what I'm reading. It is a violation of every credit card agreement between credit card issuers and retailers to add a fee for using a credit card, if you were running a retail business you'd lose the privilege of accepting credit cards if you did what you're so happily doing to the members of this forum.

People like yourself have a good deal to do with what's wrong with the world. Enjoy what's bound to be a shortened stay here.

Exactly! Thanks for pointing yourself out city!

And if this guy is making so much money on the exchange he can pay his mortgage like he has rudely bragged about, perhaps it is time for a dealer membership.
