As an e-trader, I have the privilege to come across many different characters and there are good ones and there are bad. A few times, I have come across a handful of people who purposely made payment to me less than my invoice. For example, item plus shipping come up to MYR43 and they will cleverly send me MYR40 only. When questioned, they will say that MYR40 is easier to deposit that MYR43, which is true but then it is not the amount that I asked for.
People like these who give themselves a discount just make it difficult for me to close the deal. In the first place, I am already subsidizing shipping since I am making it easier for them not to send me any small change.
If they wanted convenience in payment, at least have the courtesy to discuss with me first, right? I may have a good solution for them if only they spoke up.
On the other hand, luckily there are people who send me more than necessary and told me to keep the change for their next purchase. I have the privilege to meet people like these too, though they are far and few between. Most would want it shipped together with the package if they have sent extra. I am not keen to send cash through the post though, so it is hard to abide by their request. Luckily I usually have something worked out for them too.
But the champions are still people who slash their own prices. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round!
