I realize that the whole ‘marketplace’ concept allows for negotiation - but I’m wondering how, in general, others handle pricing in a ‘local pickup’ scenario. Thanks
I will usually give around 10% off ebay prices. The buyer asking for all the savings is too much, why not split the fees if possible?
