Go to a dealer.
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

I don't think your response was legitimate response. Here is why: You are physically present at a restaurant. So if you eat and try to leave, you will be caught and handed over to the cops. And there are CC TVs all over watching you. And when you order online food, you pay for it first and then you get the delivery. And even when you have the option of paying at the door and don't end up paying, you know you are going to get arrested - and you know why .😉 |
@jond - True, SOP way back when. I had forgotten all about that. |
Credit card purchases. With credit card purchases, it is pretty easy to contest a charge. In my experience, as a buyer, card companies have always sided with me. Why? Because at the card company. I am the valued customer. Considering that I use my cards every day, for everything from gasoline to HiFi, I never pay first. Well, yeah; I agree to pay, but if I don't want to, I don't. |
