BCSS includes the Buyer-Fee Option as a convenience, not as a method of deceiving consignors. Use of this fee requires full disclosure to consignors.

A 'Buyer Fee' is deducted from sales proceeds before applying the consignor split. This fee does not appear where it can readily be seen by consignors - on reports to consignors, sales invoices and price labels. It does appear in Consignor Account Balances and reports in the Consignor Work Area which are only viewable by BCSS users.

Check 'Deduct Buyer Fee from prices on inventory reports.' to prepare Inventory Lists with the Buyer Fee deducted from item prices.

Up to 6 Buyer Fees may be used (3 flat and 3 percentage). Each line item on an invoice has a Buyer Fee drop-down box. Choose which Buyer Fees to apply to each item.

The default Buyer Fee is determined by position among the six boxes which have priority from top to bottom and from left to right. For example, an amount in the bottom flat fee box on the left will appear as the default for each line item on the invoice, taking precedent over a percentage in the top percent box on the right.

The Buyer Fee has no effect on past settlements. It does affect all settlements after a Buyer Fee is established.

Look at Shop Totals in the Sales Recap to see how much Buyer Fees have increased profit.

The Buyer Fee Feature is an additional cost or not available in some software programs.
