I wouldn't ever not pay the fees for anything I'm buying online via PayPal, whomsoever it is at the other end. I have always included the miniscule amount in the price, usually to my detriment. I must admit it never occurred to me that people were using it as a way of circumventing the TSR rules and were therefore proving themselves dishonest rather than merely idle.
Now I do know I will not purchase from people who do that ever again. If they are willing to be dishonest over pence...
A lot of people want to make on postage too. I dislike that and post items for what it costs. Adding on a few quid for postage is really taking the piss.

I'm having trouble parsing that.Implying you ever bought anything anyway
I'm having trouble parsing that.
I have calculated the fees and added them to the price I paid on a couple of occasions. I only tend to buy cheap stuff though because I have little cash to spare.
Don't be so obtuse You said henceforth you'll not buy from anyone that doesnt include fees in their asking price... Now, having looked at your feedback you've only got 1 which indicates that you either very, very rarely buy or sell anything or the experience was so ghastly your trading partners chose rather not to leave any feedback... I'll assume the former.
Of course, if I've misunderstood I apologise unreservedly but as I understood it... Well, it just seemed jolly odd throwing around terms such as "dishonest" and "lazy" and claiming the moral high ground whilst rarely to never even participating in the issue this very thread is about.

Although I've never encountered this with a forum sale, I frequently experience this on eBay. I query it with a seller if the p&p seems exorbitant after I've received an item for the lowest possible postage in recycled packaging.100% agree Wayne! Real problem on EBay that one. Charge you £4 so you assume it will be a small parcel, then they've sent it for 90-odd pence as a letter!
