Finally this issue has come up.

IMO deposits can NOT be assumed to be non-refundable. This is just the same as assuming all buyers know deposits are non-refundable.
If deposits are non-refundable, have it in black-and-white.
This is to protect those unknowing buyers.

U talking to me?
If I were the seller I'd state deposits as non-refundable clearly to avoid these sort of situations.
Don't tell me to use my brain or use common sense.
I'm just saying if you want it to be non-refundable, just state it clearly on your thread. Is this so difficult to do?
Plus you think I've never sold anything here before and simply open my mouth to comment?
No offense but I think you should use your brain instead before asking me to do so.
Of course I know the risks of buyers backing out thus us as sellers asking for deposits.
What I'm merely stating is sellers should enlist the terms down beforehand so unknowing buyers may take note. Simple as that.

PS: If me I also won't wanna refund TS. All I'm stating is that we as sellers take an extra move to avoid such circumstances in future. Cheers

None taken. I'm just sharing my point of view. Hope you understand and accept that different people have different views. Cheers
