I still don’t understand how they make any money from this, who wouldn’t immediately dispute the purchase if they put the CPU in their PC and it doesn’t boot? As a customer, I don’t really care what happened to the product before if it arrives and it’s broken. I ask for a return and if the seller gives me trouble, I do a dispute with PayPal and get my money back. I don’t even have to diagnose the issue.
- brudgers 2y agoIf a purchase is not through a credit card network, there is not a general process for disputing a charge.
- imtringued 2y agoIt's called PayPal.
- CatWChainsaw 2y agoPaypal bans you for breathing wrong, why would you risk using them?
- chrisfosterelli 2y agoI understand that OLX is like Facebook marketplace where how money is transferred is up to the buyer and seller, so often it's transferred in a way that doesn't enable disputes. For e.g. in Canada if you etransfer someone you have no way to dispute the transaction.
- numpad0 2y agoPresumably it's set up so scammers can cash out before dispute opens, or so that the platform is forced to eat the refund?
