Buyer's Remorse

[galveston]

What is the protocol on RWI for a buyer having buyer’s remorse? For example a RWI member buys a watch, pays for the watch with Paypal goods and services, and than has a case of massive buyer’s remorse and demands the seller of the watch to refund him back his money as soon as possible.

Is this acceptable practice on RWI for a buyer to demand a refund from a seller after they have buyer’s remorse?

My buddy sent me the below link from another rep web site in which the above occurred:

http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=212368&highlight=gtanak

If it happened to me, I would be concerned if I did not refund the payment back to the buyer who had buyer’s remorse; they would file a complaint against me on Paypal for selling counterfeit goods resulting in my Paypal account being shut down.

Buyer's remorse??? Buyer can stick his remorse in his own ass.

As long as the watch was fairly represented.....I would think its on the new owner to then sell it.

It seems to me that Peapods2 is a complete moron. If a watch is fairly represented, no refund. Also, paypal dispute without a mod permission is against the rule.

Are you implying the buyer who had buyer's remorse on the other rep web site should have honoured his commitment to buy the watch after he demanded a refund?

A buyer does not need permission from a mod to file a Paypal dispute.; as all they have to do is file a Paypal dispute on behalf of themselves.

My concern is how does one deal with a buyer who has buyer's remorse who demands a refund after they pay before the watch is shipped and or after the buyer receives the watch.

...Im not implying anything. I stated, very clearly, my thoughts on the subject.

Buyers Remorse is the problem of the new owner.

Seller should not agree to a refund, nor should any right thinking person even suggest it.

As I have seen posted over and over on this site.....This aint Amazon.

Theres a school of thought that a buyer should be aware of what hes buying and sure he wants to buy before committing to a sale and sending the money. Really there us no excuse for "Buyers Remorse". It's just a polite way of saying "I'm an idiot".

This deal isn't like these guys have the stuff on the shelf and can just return your money. They often have to use a portion of those funds just to get you the item.

I can't see the thread I question, because i'm not a member.

I agree with you Buyer's Remorse is the problem of the new owner.

As others have said, 'Buyer's Remorse' is not a valid reason to ask for a refund.

If the watch/product was mis-represented and did not match the description/advertisement used to sell it, then I believe you have grounds to ask for a refund.

If you have simply changed your mind, don't like the style, find it isn't suitable for your wrist, you don't like a small blemish in line with age or described state of the product, etc., you should have no recourse against the seller as they have done nothing wrong.

The seller is not responsible if you don't research your purchase. The seller should not be out of pocket for the buyers mistake.

The buyer can always re-sell the watch product to recoup some or all of the money required to purchase. But making sure any advertisement accurately describe the product and its state.

Caveat emptor.

One needs to work thru the proper channels, contact a mod and get permission to file if they want to continue buying and being a member of the site.

agreed. I've purchased items I was not happy with. Unfortunately that is the risk you take when buying something without physically seeing it prior to purchase. If your personal preference changes or you aren't happy with your purchase, it is something you have to deal with if all conditions are met by the seller (QC pics are acurate to what is received) prior to you receiving it. Worst case is you try to sell it at a minimal loss to recoup the bulk of its cost. In the world with a questionable grey area (replica watches), there is a certain amount of risk/trust a buyer has to take but if the TD provides accurate QC pictures and answers any questions the buyer may have, its the buyers responsibility once the watch shows up (and is in a condition that was agreed on based on the QC pics).

This may technically be correct, but it is very unwise to do so before having spoken to the staff. We don't take PP disputes lightly.

Whatever happens on geek I say F them, who cares what goes on over there?? Not me.:hehehe:

Buyers remorse you say, its up to the seller.

Dude, stupid people who willy nilly file disputes is what causing TDs to stop taking PP. If you purchased a watch from either an M2M or a TD and regret it, tough luck. Just sell the watch once you receive it. You think a TD want to deal with morons who has buyer's remorse? There are always risks when buying M2M, the guy could be a scammer, watch not showing up, duty, etc. You want to bring refund to this equation?

There is no protocol for this......putting it bluntly......tough shit for the buyer.

EDIT: That is of course if the buyer has already received the watch.

+1000 - The buyer can just sell it on through M2M, happens all the time??
How many watches have we all bought and thought "It's not for me" and just sold it on...

Buyer's remorse? icard:
No way mate, it's even clearly written in many dealer's websites.

PP dispute? icard2:
That surely would be your last transaction on any forum, at least.

As said before, this ain't Amazon.

I would contact the RWI staff before I ever file a PP dispute.

It appears to me Mr. Peapods had a massive case of buyer's remorse.

Based on what Mr. Peapods posted in his response on why he had "Buyer's Remorse"; he said he has purchased over $5,000 of rep watches the past year and it appears to me he a very experienced buyer and seller.
