I lay byed Sea Spray at Big W and they charged me a $2 fee (plus 10% deposit). Gah... not a fan of laybying. (-_-) If I really want a toy, I'll grab it then... if I can't afford it then I'll come back later or if I'm desperate, use the credit card.
They would've charged a small processing fee similar to that of what you pay at Big W, Target and Kmart. Myers a few years ago only charged a small fee (not $10) with retail doing so badly I'd say that's what caused the process fee hike. DJ's also has a $10 layby fee too.
