Ebay commissions are higher than that.

13.25% on the entire deposit to your bank account (price + tax + shipping), not just the item price.

Plus an extra tax of around 5% if you are selling from your country to another.

What GP is saying is that dynamic pricing will not lead to lower prices because retailers will not lower their prices, they will collude.

Who in the lead-poisoned region can buy water for $100 a bottle lol

I agree, but im not American.

But also a party which famously is willing to play follow-the-leader at the hint of an election win.

You were not asking about dynamic pricing. You were asking why you weren't able to see the reason that consumers don't always find & choose the cheapest option. The person you were responding to was explaining the unethical realities of food retailers. There's no reason why these would disappear with dynamic pricing.

But they (everybody) can't. Bringing bottled water to market requires a clean source, rights to acquire it, and a manufacture & distribution network. Plus retailers. As well, these things are often blocked to newcomers because of existing deals with big players.

pretty obviously a copy-and-paste job

You assume that other people can simply bring bottled water to market & compete with discoverability and access to customers with established players?

Or is your point that all people in a market with leaded water should be paying $100 for pure water because it is inherently worth that much per the market.

You can't see you mean? Consumers pick things that are reasonably convenient, achievable and known to them. These things are all subject to exploitative tactics by grocery stores.

There's also price-fixing, which famously occurred in Canada recently.

Not to mention cornering a market like Walmart would and removing consumer choice entirely.

Hm...I don't think the blockade is long-term feasible, so Im not sure I buy the logic there.

The US president will be gone and the Republicans will have to replace him. I dont know if Vance is up to the task of being "The New Trump."

Disease and parasitic life would also explode in all previously-habitable parts of the Earth due to increased temp.

sounds like crack should be schedule 1

Because they eat potatoes?
