I had an email this morning for a seller package for town almost 1-hour's drive from me. Package is 33 pages, scans required within 2 hours ... and they're paying a whopping $75. I emailed my counter offer and reason. They respond saying, "Sorry, the fee for this file is $75" That was the end of that. They weren't willing to budge or negotiate.
As others posted, even a small package can get bogged down and take more time than originally anticipated. My time is valuable. When I get an assignment requiring scan backs, I take my scanner with me. That equipment is an asset and expense that costs money. My vehicle runs on gasoline and requires periodic maintenance and other expenditures. All that costs me money. I'm in business to recoup those expenses and make a little profit.
