Why do buyers need "accountability" beyond paying for their orders?
|
Because they are the other half of the contract and are legitimately expected
to act fairly and in good faith in following the seller's and BL's terms.
If not by you, then by numerous other sellers.
| | When you walk into your local supermarket...
|
Oh come on! You KNOW that shopping in a supermarket in no way compares to shopping
at a BL store. This has been explained countless times.
| | I really just don't get this notion at all. Beyond issues surrounding payment
what is there? Take payment (paid, didn't pay, charged back, etc) out of
it and to me, every argument comes down to "I want to make the buyer suffer consequences just because..."
|
It is insultingly dismissive of legitimate seller concerns to suggest that they
want to penalize buyers out of spite or "just because". I don't know what
has caused you to have such a jaded view of BL sellers, but in my experience
more than 99% of them have been wonderful and go out of their way to provide
excellent courteous service to their buyers.
And as has been repeatedly explained in the past, there are many things buyers
can do (and have done) beyond merely making payment that can legitimately affect
how the seller feels about the transaction or which could form a valid basis
for informing or warning the community about future dealings with such buyers.
This includes bogus PayPal reversal claims, chargebacks, claims of account hijacking,
excessive claims of non-receipt, illegal demands for customs fraud, refusals
to pick up packages from customs because they don't want to pay the duties,
threats to file PayPal claims if the seller does not reimburse them for customs
duties, angry insulting outbursts, bogus emotional accusations of seller fraud,
profanity and vulgarity in their communications with sellers, refusal to communicate
and amicably try to resolve problems before leaving feedback, unreasonable demands,
harassment, and other misdeeds and irrational behavior that make the transaction
experience difficult, unexpectedly costly or unpleasant for the seller.
Granted... The vast majority of the times buyers are fantastic and everything
is fine. But for the one or two percent of times when it is not, I see no legitimate
reason why sellers cannot leave appropriate feedback honestly expressing how
they feel about the transaction and helping the community by cautioning other
sellers in the future. That is way more than "just because". And the fact that
a small minority of sellers may abuse this right is no reason to withhold it
from everyone else.
