Product priced less than 10 agorot

Question

Sometimes there is an item that costs something less than 10 agorot, for example, 5.55. What is the ruling in such a case, since it's impossible to pay 5 agorot? Is it considered that the seller forgives this, or is there a problem? I would appreciate an answer.

Answer

Hello,

A seller who sets such a price knows himself that it is impossible to pay it, as there is no 5 agorot coin, and intends to forgive it.

The seller's intention is that someone who buys 2 products will pay an additional 10 agorot.
