The consumer pays for all the costs of a business!

But benefits from *none* of any savings that they

Of course they do, if they didn't make the savings the consumer would
have to pay more when they put the price up more to pay the extra
costs.


Take BT, they used to give credits for customers
opting for electronic bills. Then the saving was
quietly removed, along with a variety of call credits
and free caller-id.

And your point being?

BTW you can still have free CI, and there are bill savings to be had
if
you pay by DD and have paperless billing.

How long do you think that will last ?
When will they charge extra for NOT paying by DD and then won't accept
any other method of payment other than DD.

You used to be able to get discounts by paying cash few places do this
now.





That's because they were getting caught with the fiddles for paying in
cash.

Who was getting caught or rather who wasn't making a profit from a
transaction between me and the suplier is key here ?

You don't think that when you paid cash for things that you actually got
legit goods or that the legal taxes were paid do you?

Yes I do.
I think if I go into a shop and pay cash for my lunch I'm getting the same
lunch as if I paid by card, I do it everyday.
No one says to me well it's cheaper if you pay by card so you get a
discount.




IME the goods were quite often marked as stolen/lost and the cash never
went in the till.

Don't shoop at those places, I wouldn't.
Some of the biggest fiddles going use money transfer rather than cash.
I don't know anyone that buys from ebay with cash.

Some do, particularly when you pick it up in person because
its too expensive to have it shipped with the bigger stuff.

Then that is risky as it's outside of ebays control and would make it difficult to get back if there was a despute.
Supose I gave you cash for something I brought from you, and I handed you fake money that yuo didnlt notice at the time ?
