Commsec brokerage is 29.95?!

[bonkerrs]

i'm wanting to place a buy order in tonight. Just plugged in all the details and the calculated cost has brokerage as $29.95. It is usually $19.95. I can't call them tonight so was wondering if anyone here might know why the increased brokerage cost?

Thanks!

What is the value of your proposed trade?
Have you changed for source of funds?

Commsec Share trades (Internet Preferred) $19.95 up to $10,000 transaction value, maybe you are over the $10k threshhold?

$5,000 worth of IPL shares ($3.15). No changes to source of funds.

Sorry. Don't know why this is the case.

Just put in a $5000 buy order, $19.95 was the brokerage price... from memory "conditional orders" cost more could that be the conundrum?
