This thread has brought a question to mind. Why is it that our culture ASSUMES the seller to be the honest one? Why doesn't the seller ship, and then the purchaser send payment when he receives what he purchased? Who has more to lose in the transaction? If the deal goes bad, the seller is out his cost, while the buyer is out the full price. And if I purchase a gun from a dealer with an inspection period, why do I have to return the gun to get a refund? The seller required funds before he shipped the gun to me, why shouldn't he now send a refund before I return the gun to him? Why should the buyer take all the risk? He's not making any money on the deal. Profits from being in business are the reward for taking some risk. Where's the risk for the seller when he is paid before the item is even shipped. ALL the risk in being taken by the buyer. BTW, "What goes around, comes around."
