Who set up the rules of payment? Buyers or sellers?
Post 1 of 46
You always call all those sellers who won't accept your payment method (through paypal, escrow, etc etc) as scammers? What you are doing is ridiculous. You must keep in your mind that Sellers PUT the rules. If you don't like their payment method, it is simple, you go elsewhere and buy from there. I personally never accept paypal or escrow or similars. Why shall I do that? I accept either L/C or T/T. If you don't like these methods, go elsewhere silently and buy from someone else who will accept paypal or the similars. I am seller, i.e. I am the one who put the rules. You are not.

Sellers are more powerfull to set up export rules keepng their security of the purchase value.

A locally re-confirmed L / C is the best option for a genuine exporter.

Hi,
For me, any parties could set up the rule of payment but it MUST be fair to both parties ( buyer and seller ). Most important is TRUST and HONESTY......

Bad attitude. In the U.S. the customer is always right. This is supposed to be a friendly discussion. No need to make it personal.

my name is aboagye dacosta from ghana i want your e-mail of course you are the seller. But you have to remember.

WE ARE THE BUYERS.

Your trying to sell to us. Your "one of many" If i feel more secure dealing with one person over the other because their payment methods are more secure than yours you cannot get upset over that.

Even moreso, you cannot get upset with a buyer because they are willing to try to do business with you and ask for alternate forms of payment methods to feel more secure. This e-commerce is a faceless business. I don't know you. I only know what you told me about you. If you cannot be fair and reasonable on some things, how do you expect to do business around here. People remember when your willing to work with them to accomplish an agreement.

It's not like they are asking you to drop the price/take a loss on a product. WE as buyers are simply asking you can we give you OUR MONEY in a way we feel that is safe. Replying to salhinda:

Who has the money? Usually, it is the supplier who has the money because many of suppliers are already factories.

In my case, relatively small dealer, I don't let the big importers to set up the payment method. Last month, one of biggest companies of the world asked me to establish a business relation based on a payment after delivery. I simply rejected. Who cares if they are big, if they have big money. The money I paid for the goods I owned is big enough for me. If I can make a few percent profit, I am big enough. So, people out there in the thread/on the forum, what are you trying buy?Replying to agriturk:

Who set up ?

Depend...In many case big retailers define everything with their suppliers.
That means that who have de money/ the business ( end users ) can set up the rules.
Being supplier without buyer don't make a lot of money.
And a buyer without a minimum of confidence/consideration don't make business.Posted on Dec 29, 2005 at 02:35
You know you should look at this problem
from a different view to give you all a fair
crack at the whip, before I start (seller)
get off your high horse, if there are no buyers
DEMAND, who are you going to supply,
OK: a company wants a new office block
building, he selects 1 contractor out of 3
bidders they sign a contract then the work starts,
if the contractor starts to go outside the
design making a mess has the client no right to stop him,
IE contractor = supplier, company buyer, what happens now.but at the same time, me personally if i'm doing that much in business. (10k and higher) i will come there myself and see the products from your hand to the airplane back to my home.good bye

i am a seller.
i think the rule should be set up by both buyer and seller,not each part of them.for the business is base on the mutual benefit,not just on buyer's or seller's side.as we know,there are so many buyers all around the world who want to purchase your products,the same is true for the sellers.the most important of all for the seller,is to show how good they are at the products.

Well it's good to see this forum being use as it's supposed to be creating good and honest debate not just for people posting their buy and sell leads.I for one have taken on board many points put forward by Buyers And Sellers.
As for us we are Manufacturers wanting to start selling Factory Direct
so for us we accept L/C and T/T if the Buyer is not sure of our integrity they can go through the channels and check us out or come and see us first hand.
Replying to ( Wanjish ). When your dealing with Factories be aware that this is a common request.We need the 30% to cover the cost of starting production and YES we do care about the client.Most buyers in our business are professional and realize the cost of sarting production of their order.

yes, it is a good phenomena, for discussing, not for advertising.

as some one said, "no payments is completely safe "
and as a seller, at the first time of business, i only accept T/T and L/C. if the buyer doesn't accept, i would rather to lose the potential business opportunity.
if we have done business with each other for a long-time. is it necessary to fight for the payment? no, because we trust each other through a series of business cooperation.
so the key is how to establish a credit between the buyer and seller at the first time of doing business.
we depend on the better service ,higher quality ,more reasonable price,flexible business communication to win in the harder competition, but not depend on payment. and you?
