You want X to verify orders from Y, Z, Y', Z', et al for a $1 handling fee ?
What exactly do you mean by 'verify' ? Are you expecting X to open all the bags
and recount the parts to see if the proper quantites are present ? For a $1
handling fee ?
What happens if X finds a discrepency ? Y says they sent the proper quantity,
but X says they are not there. Who does A believe ?
If you are not expecting X to count the parts (and I hope not) then what happens
when A gets the (consolidated) order and finds a shortage ? If the same part
came from multiple sellers, then who does the finger get pointed at ? Likewise,
if the parts are used and one seller supplies substandard quality parts (ABC or
otherwise) how do you sort out the responsibility ?
As someone said yesterday... "There may be a lot of devils in the details".
If you really believe that a $1 handling fee would cover these kind of hassles,
I doubt that I would touch it with a 10-foot pole. Just one sellers opinion tho.
