@yogiboy - I've never been to a restaurant that is not 'fast-food' where you have to pay before you get your meal. So I've just named one.
why are sellers to be trusted, but buyers are not?
We buy and sell on sites like this so there is an exchange of 2 things that have an agreed upon equal value
- the item being sold from a seller
- money from a buyer
in all cases, the seller must be trusted to send the item as described, but the buyer is not trusted to send the money. And more and more, sellers are insisting to be paid in ways that have no recourse for the buyer, like PayPal F&F, Venmo, etc.
The item and the money are of equal value.. so why is one party to be trusted and the other is not? Why does the seller always insist on waiting to get paid before they ship? Why doesn’t the buyer insisting on getting the item before they will pay for it?
I have hundreds of perfect feedback going back over 20 years on multiple platforms, but the seller always insists I pay them first even if they have much, much less feedback. Why should I trust them if they don't trust me?
just curious

@larsman That’s ridiculous analogy! |
@yogiboy -
That isn't an analogy, it is a fact, and was a legitimate response to your question. |
@larsman , +1 Touché! @yogiboy , He’s got you dead to rights on that one! You order your food, you receive your food, you consume your food. You then get the bill and pay for your food. You have literally received the product you ordered before paying for it with zero chance of returning it. Well, technically you can return it, but not in the original condition and I imagine they’d frown upon accepting next day returns.😃 |
