Lots of companies do employ diploma holders as purchaser. They are called purchaser because what they do are just basic purchasing/transaction like issuing PO and making sure that the deliveries are on time. This type of job has no actual value and in fact SMEs would even hire N/O/ITE levels candidates to fill up the roles. Real genuine purchasing role involves deep understanding of procurement function i.e. sourcing for materials (direct/indirect) and balancing quality and price. Other concerns of reputation of suppliers/ timely delivery etc are part of the job scope. The scale of the job scope could be global/regional/site depending on experience; more experience = higher responsibility = managing procurement project involving higher cost at global level.
1) salary for fresh grads
The salary really depends on how well you could convince the hiring manager and department director. If he/she sees potential in you, it is easy to ask for reasonably higher salary like any other jobs. A conservative quote would be 3k - 3.5k for fresh graduates. It also depends on your degree as well. Good degree will give you a chance for an interview, other than that it is up to you to convince the hiring manager. Hard truth is....you dun even need a relevant degree for the job, just any good degree major from reputable uni will land you a chance for the interview.
2)Buying clerk experience
They might take into consideration of that but in actual fact it has no value. Like what I have said, anyone can become buying clerk. Prior experience of a buying clerk does not make you a good procurement professional.
3)will a finance or logistics degree help me get a purchaser job?
It will give you a better chance to be picked for an interview, however, that does not mean you will be hired. Key to be hired is convince convince and convince. Good speaker always wins...also you have to express genuine passion and interest for the job.

depending on your commodity.... my first job was in a mgmt trainee track and as a "purchasing exec" i managed a team of 4 buyers. the actual purchasing (the day to day sourcing for quote, monitoring PRs, raising POs), is usually done by lower level staff. i did the long term strategic sourcing, interacting with users and suppliers and other boring mgmt stuff like writing papers.

Freshie deg Purchasing Executive for small co could be 2.2-2.5k, for global MNCs or MA programs more flexible and higher as some can go >4k. But if urs is PT / private uni, not much hope with the big MNC.
Having logistic deg help in some way, but not compuslory. Real purchasing operation have not much to do with what you study in uni anyway.
