Ioffer .com Transaction Deviate’s, Sellers Greed, But Smart Buyers Bite Back
While iOffer does not provide customer service, Online Auction Sites & Services need laws. Chaotic behavior can be observed on iOffer.
Sellers can post an asking price or request offers; buyers, in turn, can purchase an item at its asking price or make an offer. All transactions are negotiable; Sellers can post a "want ads". Transactions can be made with money order, western union, and PayPal. When reading the sellers ad in full, they would say Return Policy Accepted, within 14 days, we will not return shipping cost if we made any mistake. However some ad’s have a Asking price with Free Shipping.
This is where the risks are involved:
You see or seen an item you want or like, you decide to purchase it from the seller. The seller provides a tracking number for you, the item is delivered to you, it’s now in your hands after
Patiently waiting, you open the package and BOOM! The seller sent you the wrong item or it’s not the one from the ad. If you decide to return there no telling what the seller would do either refund or exchange and reship back to your hands. I have yet to see any seller exchange and reship back, Although I have seen refunds which is still a big lost because you sent a item back money order, western union, and PayPal won’t recover shipping cost this means there import export business is good in their governments eyes. I personally would look for ad’s with Free Shipping
For the buyer items that are not received or not significantly as described happens, most buyer who use money orders or western union will not receive item at all, it would not be wise to use those outlets to purchase anything online, the smart buyer will use PayPal for their protection program for items that are not received or not significantly as described to regain full refund, but not return shipping
Now let’s say a seller item is Price: $20.00 (Shipping costs included in offer) Total: $20.00, the seller receive 20USD from you, howsoever the seller priced the belt for 14USD, then the shipping cost should be 5USD, that equals to 19USD,all together you pay 20USD.The seller contacts you and says Dear friend: Was my fault, the goods are $ 20, shipping is $ 14, I hope you understand. Total price 34 USD. You pay USD20. Please again send out USD14. We send out to you! Thanks
Thinking to yourself WTF! sure it would be a very low price sale for Seller, "iOffer's concept" I the buyer Offer price
You the seller then Counter Offers, I the buyer then accepts, we then exchange payment for goods based upon agreements, I’m sorry but I would be a fool to cancel the transaction, you would have to cancel it, I will never ever never renege the agreement, you can dispute or report it but I won’t! I want my item or pay me 40USD then I will rate the transaction.
Is this buyer wrong? Looks like extortion, but the buyer is absolutely positively right. The seller would of did the same to you and get away with it, If I bought a item then its shipped out then it gets to my home and it’s not what I paid for then I would have two options 1)keep it or 2)send it back to the seller. I would have to ship it back and spend more money on postage because of their mistake RIGHT!
when the seller clearly made mistake
Now in this case it would be just the same
if the seller sold item for then didn't realize shipping was included, but wants the shipping which clearly changes the price and the agreement, the seller should have two options 1)send out item still or 2)the buyer cancel’s order but double the amount spent refunded put back in the person account for their mistake
If you ask me neither the three are of any use for safe transactions, because **bleep** still happens that’s my word bond. I personally experienced it myself but took action as fast the seller would, and I came to a moment of clarity, we the buyers have no voice only because we let them get what they want, speak up and explain clearly what needs to be done to keep you protected.
