Title: VENDERS: Do successful buyer scams come out of your pocket or factor into price?
Post by: abrakadabra on September 15, 2013, 02:24 am
  I am curious to learn what effect dishonest buyers who lie and scam the vendors I buy from has on the prices I pay for goods.
 Do these parasites suck the profits from the pockets of the vendors they target, or do they end up factored in as part of the cost of doing business the vendors must determine when they price their goods?
  I am quite certain most of these scams end up coming out of my pocket as a buyer and I bet if the problem was minimized or somehow eliminated it would result in lower prices on the goods I purchase.
  I bet to be a high volume vendor and maintain a high rating one must have a high tolerance for scammers and be very compliant with scammer demands, which must have some significant cost associated with paying these degenerates and in turn they are costing me dough.
