If you go thru this topic you'll see how many people have not read your explanation. They're also the same people that don't read Jo-Ann's coupons, ebay descriptions, and numerous other things. The biggest problem is people don't read.
It makes perfect sense for an online shop to price in their smallest sale unit since the software is going to work much easier that way.
Thanks! I think a lot of people just read the first post in a thread and hit reply, not reading the rest of it, so they miss a lot, including any explanations of what's really happening.
It's beyond me why anyone would think that any online shop owner, especially small to medium sized ones, would purposely engage in deceptive sales practices. There is no deception, and there is no benefit in engaging in anything deceptive. It's just a function of how online sales carts work!
Anyway, I don't know if many people will read this, but for those of you that do, here's a question, given that because of cart limitations we can still only price and sell in units:
Would it help if we listed the full-yard price someplace on the product description, or would that just make it more confusing?
