Does anyone levy an extra fee on Xstreet goods, to cover the extra percentage? I am considering it to be honest.

I used to do that until I fell in with OnRez. Now, it don't seem like I have much of a chance, eh? eh?

Some folks do it, some folks don't. I'd say mention that it's a bit cheaper in-world due to Xstreet's levy, and definitely include a slurl

Your goods are at a fair price already-I wouldn't mind a small extra fee at all.

doesn't. Reasoning: The price I charge is not what it cost me (duplication costs nothing) - it's what I can get away with charging.

And that does not change depending on where I sell it.

Rika: I don't either, but I can understand the justification behind charging a little extra. The convenience of SLX is largely for the

It is not so much about the money, but I am annoyed at this relentlessly-promoted, GOM-ed, anti-competitive service which takes a cut.

LL are encouraging people to buy in Xstreet and that takes from inworld sales.

The fees I pay are on a per sale basis, which to me is a lot more reasonable than renting space for a satellite location. And that,

if a sort of warehousing service could be set up with sufficient security that could compete again.

I don't mind the small cut given the wider exposure. I see it more as an advertising expense or branch store rental, per Aki.

I don't charge a premium.

going to raise fees so she can buy a Mechanical Memory Key. I think Ordinal needs one, too (evilsmirk)

Ordy, you can be correct AND bitter. Look at Prokofy - she manages it half the time.

even a broken clock is correct twice a day ;-)

Unless it's missing one hand, then it's correct at least 120 times a day. xD
