Mind you, it's for the benefit of everyone and the responsibility of a seller.
What if the supplier ran away?....than what is the next course of actions?
or for instance, if one is to know that the supplier is cheating...than what?
Report police and wait for the supplier to refund?
The seller is the one dealing with the buyer and not the buyer dealing with the supplier.
You're thinking from the seller's POV and disregard the buyers out there.
My point is still valid because eventually it's still the seller's fault. It's a mistake to admit so when buyer requested for refunds they are entitled it. So seller has to own it and no choice he has to turn to other sources for lending of money.
Even in real business situation you can't brush off by implying that you are doing your best in asking "on-behalf" of the buyer. You still have to pay back first than think of another way to cover your losses.
This is business ethics that should be cultivated since young.
Like I said previously, he did good by following up closely and always update; but that's not enough. Ppl's money are still at stake.
Well, did i mention that i standing in seller's side? No? Yes?
Ask everyone around here. Did I try to make the situation worse for buyer or seller? I just thinking a logic and safe way to settle this matter.
Speaking of lending money, I don't think michael's buyer want to rush/push TS to lend money from others. It's 10k and I don't think any parents here could afford such. So the other way around is loan shark or so called "legal money lender" and ended up his stories of getting loan from those company appeared in newspaper.
There's sometimes when a dispute need to rush. Etc. 1 to 1 deal. This kind of deal can be rushed since mostly the amount will be around 1k.
For michael. RM5 per day refund is not logic. Better drag your supplier out at one day and have a meeting with the buyer also. I'm sure the case can closed faster than ever. What I most suspect here is where did the money you had gave to supplier to? Gamble?
