Well, trading in e-world is kinda popular now. Everyday new post coming up and old post going down...

So, just wondering who's the responsibility actually in the normal case as below..


QUOTE
Seller describe the item clearly what the item is, include with photo etc. <-- describe the item clearly, but just never say the usage of the item
So buyer after confirm item has no problem, pay and get the item. <-- never ask the compatibility of the item

End up, the item not fit or not compatible with the buyer's present equipment. Do the seller has to refund? or it's the buyer to understand what he's buying?

Example:

Computer Rig: Buying Pentium 4 processor with different socket.
Photography Rig: Buying lens not fully function with current body


So, I wanna heard what's you guys opinion.

WHOSE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT THE COMPATIBILITY?
Should buyer know detail about what he buy? or Must seller clearly describe the usage of the item line by line?

My opinion is:
It's responsible of the buyer himself. If he never ask, he's own assumption cost himself. And in some case, the compatibility is information is not just a few line. It's like 1 or 2 page long. I say is buyer responsibility of the compatible of the purchased item.

To me it is both parties fault.

Seller - for not describing all the compatibilities
Buyer - for trusting too much on the seller, buyer has other options such as going directly to a computer shop.

Moved to trade resource center as it's more appropriate. If you think otherwise, pls pm either me or cherroy to convince us moving this back to finance section.

it's on the seller part. he need to clarify everything and of course he'll ask if the buyer's equipment can be used for it or not.

seller - should describe all the important compatibility

buyer - should ask about the compatibility if dunno much about the item
