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

  1. the item being sold from a seller
  2. 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

Read the question that the OP asked. He is talking about shipping before payment.

Have you ever bought anything on line that you did not have to pay for before the item was shipped? If so please clue me in!

@yogiboy , I read the question the OP asked.

That’s not the question you asked.

"Have you ever bought anything that you did not have to pay first? If so name one! I sure can’t!!"

That is the question you asked, and @larsman  factually answered.

Game, set, match. 😊

Now that this has deteriorated into yet another childish pisssing contest I can unfollow it
