B.Com are not worried about your loss which when you actually do the calculation on realistic values the losses the host incurs is quite staggering. B.Com by way of their calculation are actually claiming more than 15% commission and then the host is paying the VAT on the commission claimed. 

So who is looking after who in this scenario?????
