If you didn't pay for a handling fee then how would Aust Post or any other delivery service deliver your goods? same rule applies for sellers but it's not always visible to buyers.

Wage garnishing... Seems a bit like an oxymoron, lol, when in any other circumstance it means adding a little something extra, even if just purely decorative. 

 

Who can I blame for my still-disappointingly-low wages now that I'm self-employed...?

 

Hmm... hmm Maybe I need to introduce a handling fee. 

 

Digi..carefully sneak in a handling fee as a slight component within item pricing, and then it's item cost, not the all-offending extra fees 🙂

Buttercup: You mock my pain! Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Perhaps it could be called a self-handling fee, on account of our self-employment. Norty.......(I think my end-of-the-day drink might be making me cheeky!).

Now that you're self employed don't forget you don't receive sick,holiday and super payment to go with your low income wage.

I dunno... I was thinking if I called it my postage & I can totally handle this charge, it might inspire buyer confidence. 😉

I'm looking at your post...then my last one...and I think it might be time for me to have a drink, too. Smiley LOL

 

 

Cheers.

Back to the Op.

 

Who claims to be a seller, yet doesn't understand handling charges.

 

A worry. Unless he has taken a leaf from Alex's book (whatever happened to Alex? Couldn't he handle not having the 'ignore' function?) and is trying to 'subtly' advertise.

 

Given he hasn't bought anything for 4 months that he's left feedback for.

 

I certainly wouldn't be drawing attention to my current feedback levels.

Saw that too, but thought if I mentioned it I might be called a b itch (again).
