buyers can't read and make up there own mind.

It cuts both ways. A normal operating business considers expenses like
that as part of doing business. As a customer I would be outraged if I
went to a merchant and they charged me extra because I chose some
particular form of payment.

Bill your one of the brightest guys I've meet online but. Lets just put it
this way. I can either have a reserve that covers my cost or I can have no
reserve and just state the fees. Either way as with any sold product the
cost of doing biz is always past on to the buyer. What form it takes is
neither here nor there. So I guess I don't understand the outrage you would
have if I'm upfront with you on cost?


Thanks...
The cost of doing business comes directly out of profits. Thats the way
it works for any vendor or merchant. You can't take 100% of the income
and insist that the buyer pick up the tab for your business costs.
In that light, the manner of presentation DOES matter.
What if a buyer sez, well ok-I'll mail a money order and then wants to
hit you with HIS costs of doing business like 37c postage and 85c for
the money order? You wouldn't think very highly of him as a buyer would
you?
