Well said. Business ethics aside, old timer online sellers built their business based on the context of "cheaper than retail" and you have to realise these measly discount means much to people who want to save as much as they can. It isnt far-fetched to even say that their business base centers around majority of budget-conscious consumers. Otherwise, they would just save the trouble and walk in to any outlets to grab what they want and get over the dramas.

Personally, i've dealt with lingloong long few years back, everything was fine back then, friendly chap.

Lately, over the course of past few months i've made calls to their office to inquire stock availability for side rigs i want to build, not sure who was on the phone(different person on multiple occasion), but a number of times it was rather rude. Whatever it is, he needs to realize that his employees is killing his business(if it was not intentional by him) and he need to act if he wants his business to continue.

@TS, pay no mind to shit-sayers who are derailing the purpose of this thread, threads like this is important to create awareness of NOT only consumers, but also business owner themself to know what is really going on. It is your right to purchase from where you want to, and if case is as you said, you have a valid point and deserve an explanation. A responsible trader/business owner have to suck up to his own mistake on "wrongly" pricing their product and SELL it at purchased price EVEN IF at loss. The excuse is unacceptable and CANNOT BE ENCOURAGED.

dumb fuck

Definition of Defamation

"Defamation, calumny, vilification, or traducement is the communication of a false statement that, depending on the law of the country, harms the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation.[1]

Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and must have been made to someone other than the person defamed.[2] Some common law jurisdictions also distinguish between spoken defamation, called slander, and defamation in other media such as printed words or images, called libel.[3]"

If TS claims is by no means a lie, it does not constitute defamation.

I understand that you're not defending the seller.

In my experience, defamation charges can only be pressed if it is unbased/untrue. If defamation charges can be so easily pushed, i think most of us, especially those in /K would be in jail not being able to enjoy their popcorns.

In any case, i doubt any charges will be presented for this case, it might spell seller's own demise in doing so.

Exactly my point, first rule of thumb when doing business. You can only post/display items that you have IN STOCK, affixed with a price, unless stated otherwise clearly before making the aforesaid item "available".

I do understand that Lazada is only a middleman and have their house rules on managing issues like this, but the fact remains, you posted "x" quantity of item for sale with a pricetag that YOU decided, you can't just cancel a customer's purchase simply because "i made a mistake in the price". It is the same and equivalent to scam and/or false marketing.

Down to the bottom, if Lazada does not pursue, there are many other channels with TS can use to pursue.

Technical issues/errors happens all the time across any business on any platform. That much is understandable. So we now know that the crux of TS claim is due to problem with Lazada and pricing glitch. Fair enough.

This, however, does not change the fact on the arrogance stance of the seller, in which, his reply is filled with sarcasm and insincere apology and further sarcasm to other forumers who replied here.

Things would have been very much different if he make do without those sarcasm and apologies. When you're running a business, despite customer is not always right as we all know, they surely deserve more respect than this. He is dodging everything and blaming everything apart from himself and this by itself is a disgrace to the business community and should not be left as is.

not sure if your definition of "way off" is in line with others.

May wanna check on first page and work on your math. Anyways, petty garbage aside, if you feel that its rightful to cancel a purchase after payment has been made, and after seeing insincere sarcasm ridden response from the seller then please go ahead.

Its not the matter of taking advantage of seller or anything like that, fact remains, customer sees a good deal > click > pay. Is there anything wrong with that?

Seller said system glitch > cancelled customer order > ignoring customers messages > accusing customer of incorrect accusations > rude high and mighty attitude > causes inconvenience to customer having their cash stuck with lazada for couple of days. Seller right?

get your facts right before posting. Lazy to recap entire story.

ok good for you, this case doesnt involve me. 10 years overseas, 5 years in tokyo, come back to Malaysia, same shit like before i left. Blasphemous business ethics and still supported by consumer. Go continue sucking his cock. Not gonna reply here, pointless.
