Mercari buyer with no reviews6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() You have the latter, this is a tough business. ![]() Of course, you may not accidentally be able to acquire any (under the table? Non-transferable on resale?) merchandise ‘bonus points’ that way. Yet, ‘accidental overstock’ resales are ok? Moot question when ‘inventory acquisition’ is professionally planned. One piece of this fable a bit unclear though - no returns due to ‘pandemic’. Perhaps that will help assuage some of the ‘drama’ and emotional impacts that should be ideally minimized in business, but hey, we’re only human, right? (?). Think of it as kind of a delayed satisfaction. But you can minimize, even recoup fully depending on your tax position(s). All of it, not just the zero sum ‘refund’ part - because even if you ‘win’ there will be cost. That’s what is meant by “cost of” doing business.Īnd also know it’s tax deductibility. And prepare for it, so to confront the fraudsters who count on their acts being too ‘expensive’ to prosecute. Those who’s livelihoods is in ‘sales’ know that, and accept it. Costs beyond the ‘value’ of the goods involved. ![]() It’s like a whisper in Church, gets more attention than the shouted sermon. And you don’t need big red flashing font either. Then, be prepared to actually do that when it occurs. Reported to the venue (regardless of ‘effectiveness’), prosecuted by theft report - law enforcement, PIS, ICC, etc, litigated in court. What one can do however, is state within their ‘terms of service’ how fraud returns will be dealt with. That’s why it’s a target, and makes a seller look like one. It also serves no purpose on a venue that controls fund release and refund on return, no matter how ‘invalid’ in the end analysis. The target phrase that starts with ‘if’ and ends in ‘don’t buy from me.’ It may be inspirational, but it isn’t very professional. Start with examining the ‘challenge’ flag waved in the face of the potential would-be ‘serial returner’. Whether or not one’s ‘venue-partner’ of choice has any ‘additional protection’ in place - (clue: professional sellers research first and thus will learn they don’t) - that is not relevant to the need to protect one’s self as best able though, and be prepared to defend one’s self from any ‘impact’ to the extent possible. Sellers who sell ‘professionally’ must be prepared to deal with what is essentially ‘shoplifting’. ![]() “I sell for a living and have done pretty good.“ ![]()
