One of the biggest money makers on E-Bay is shipping.
It's just a matter of time till some corporate muckity mucks comes up
with a new idea to generate extra revenue that will fly under our
customer radar. When they get enough complaints or
lose business then they re-think it.
A few years ago Otto cap (I believe) added one dollar to each invoice as an
invoicing fee or a handling charge, can't remember which.
I started watching the invoice numbers and in 6 months they had gone up
in the 15,000 count range,
so think how easy it would be to make an extra $20 to $30 thousand
dollars every year just by adding $1 to each invoice!!
It works the same way for each company that has the volume and can come up with
a way to justify it with it's customers.
Just something to keep in mind or find a way to incorporate into our business'
Hmmmm.....
Anyway have a great day.
