Pathfinder 1e
What are your thoughts about a player who charges other players a mark up to craft magic items?

Here's the scenario - Player A takes Craft Wonderous Items feat at 3rd level - offers to craft whatever party members want during extended downtime that is essentially being hand-waved by the GM, so no time limitation, and no concern on GM's part about potential WBL imbalance. Just instant magic item between sessions.
Player A charges other players 70 percent of item's value to craft it (it costs 50 percent of item's value to craft, so crafter is pocketing roughly a 40 percent markup)

What do you think? Perfectly fine, or overly greedy?

I'm looking for general opinions regarding a situation that recently arose in my campaign.

Big fight...a Big Bad Evil Guy, his almost-as big and bad henchman, and a large number of lower level cronies. Eventually the BBEG and his henchman go down. The cronies left alive throw down their weapons and fall to their knees in surrender.

The two melee characters in the party - 1 Neutral Good and 1 Chaotic Good - indicate they will keep swinging at their surrendered foes. I tell them this is inherently NOT a "Good" act and they could suffer alignment consequences if they proceed.

They have 2 counter arguments - 1) they're in the heat of the battle and can't just turn off the combat "juices" like a light switch, and 2) the fact that these bad guys were just trying to kill them justifies continued hacking, even after they've surrendered.

I say neither of these arguments holds water. But my players continue to disagree. Since we're mostly relatively inexperienced, I thought I'd throw it out to the PF community to get some feedback. I've read through some alignment threads that get down some big time rat holes in terms of interpreting the Alignment system in general, and I'm not looking to do that here. Just within the narrow confines of this scenario, is an alignment shift from Good towards Neutral warranted?

Is this viable or is there a hole in my logic somewhere?

Net-using Human Fighter...Exotic weapon net, net adept and PA feats at first level...typical tactic will be to advance to within 15 feet of the bad guy and ready a sword attack if the guy moves to within 5 feet of me...so if he moves to attack me, I net him with attack of opportunity (melee 10 foot reach attack because of net adept feat), then drop the net which is hopefully already entangling the guy as a free action and hack him with my greatsword as my readied action.
