    Default How to Confuse a Buyer!!

    If I was a buyer receiving this "Payment Reminder" email I would be so confused as to just exactly WHAT my total due for the order is...yikes! Reference:
    ================
    Auction ID : 31375674
    Auction Title : Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 & Animation Shop 3 Two Guides

    Make Payment : http://us.ebid.net/perl/account.cgi?...account-review

    Amount Due : $5.00

    Domestic Shipping : to United States, USPS Media Mail = $6.00
    Intl Shipping : Handling Fee : $1.00
    Varies by Buyer Location

    So what does he/she owe??........$5.00??..........$11.00??.........$12 .00??..............Well, in actuality this buyer owes $11.00, but this "style" of payment reminder is mass confusion as far as I'm concerned. Would it not be a better layout to say something like:

    Auction ID : 31375674
    Auction Title : Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 & Animation Shop 3 Two Guides

    Make Payment : http://us.ebid.net/perl/account.cgi?...account-review

    Amount Due for Item: $5.00
    Domestic Shipping : to United States, USPS Media Mail = $6.00 (Intl Shipping : Handling Fee : $1.00 - Varies by Buyer Location)

    TOTAL DUE: $11.00

    Anyone else feel 'confused' by this style of email reminder???

    I agree, it is confusing, but, then again, I find myself confused rather often these days, glasses or no glasses.

    Happy holidays and best wishes for many sales to all,
