So it's kinda like how credit cards charge the merchant a fee and in the past would disallow the merchant from offering a cash discount.


Like that, but if the fee climbed up 10x higher.


Maybe for small products where the shipping is relatively expensive? Cause that'd be like 50%.


If we approximate a credit card fee as 2% + 30 cents then I think 20% + $3.00 ends up in the same ballpark as what Amazon is pushing onto a lot of sellers. It hurts hardest for small products but it's significant for everyone.

And that price is supposedly separate from the shipping cost.
