The Price??? You're asking too much (wink) -

on looking at their self in the monitor.

They never say it,all they say is how many easy-pays it is,then you have to count it up to know the price of the item......not knowing keeps me from ordering....
I have to get up and go to the tv to see the price.
.....sigh

Can't you get all this info from your computer?
Maybe she doesn't have a computer! Lots of people don't/ But they do this everytime, and it's terrible. Also when showing pants never ever tell the length. I don't care what size the models are in, I want to know the length.

I think the real reason they don't always tell the price, just the EZ pay,
because since the total price is ridiculously overpriced, they would be embarassed to point it out too much and also know if people heard the total price right away, they would never buy it.
Reel them in with the attractively low ez pay, then hope that they buy it before they change their minds!
Thats my story!

loriqvc - Thanks for the clarification. I have used EZP only once and it was a long time
ago, but I remember being surprised when the total shipping cost was included in the
first payment. That may have changed to amortizing the shipping costs and tax, too.
Sorry, I was not aware of that. In any event, I appreciate the correction.
So I would change my suggestion to having the host say that each payment includes
the equal amount of tax and shipping for the number of EZP installments. It is just
innacurate to say that the item can be "in your home" for $X when it is $X plus a
portion of shipping and tax.

I have said this for years. It drives me to distraction that some of the hosts never give the price of an item. They only tell you an easypay amount. Yeah I'm looking at you Sandra Bennett.
The job of a host is to give pertinent information about the item. That includes the purchase price. Not the cost of one easy payment, the actual price. If a host isn't going to give all information one needs to make an informed purchase, there is no point in the host being there. They might as well just show items on the screen with the information in the box.
There is no reason for anyone to have to get out a computer, phone, tablet, etc. to look up information the host should be providing. The reason they are allowed to get away with that nonsense is because some shoppers, as noted here, let them. If I am watching and a host doesn't give me a price, they aren't getting my sale.
