Sure, you can choose not to buy from a seller that requires the buyer to pay the fees, but 3 bucks and change....c'mon man, it's not worth getting that riled up about.
Exactly, so the sellers should just suck it up, or add it in. I had brought this very issue up months ago, I wont buy from anyone adding fees in. If they want them that badly, add them into the total. Just like any other retail outlet, they adjust the price of their goods by including whatever fees they want to re-coup.
Just like gas, how irritated would people be if the pumps showed the actual price of gas, say $1.99 p/g, and stated tax would be added at the end of the transaction? Even if it was stated the tax was say $1.89 p/g, not only would people have to do the math in their heads, but it's just plain irritating! (not to mention everyone would know how much tax they are paying, but that is another topic)
I can't stand the current way our society/economy prices crap at $X.99 + tax, (or shipping for that matter), why can sellers just incorporate everything into a bottom line price? You have something to sell that I might want, give me the full price, don't add crap to it.
Bottom line, stating that buyer pays fees (IMHO) is like an insult. You know how you can take a phrase and say it one way, it's taken well, say the exact same thing with different inflection, and it's an insult. Same thing applies here.
Just my 2 cents.
