Will you be sending the remaining powder to the buyer since they paid for it?

My suggestion would be for you to either buy the powder yourself as it is very inexpensive and keep it in stock for any future potential buyer if it's a fairly common sense type of color, or refuse to do it. Otherwise, informed buyers won't end up leaving with a good taste in their mouth.

You're better off buying in a larger quantity anyway, it's cheaper in the long run.
If the person wants the powder back I will gladly send it with them. You are correct that "most" of the powders are inexpensive but when 3-4 people want a special powder things will add up quickly. Also buying a large quanity is not always the best option. We are really small and do not really need all the overhead especially when it is a color that no one else wants. I also do not see anyone having a bad taste in their mouth. They always have the option to go somewhere else if they are not happy with the price. When you do quality work people tend to overlook little things like 10 extra bucks for powder.
