Obligations & Trust

Have you ever considered how Trust between a Buyer and Seller, is generally only one way, and what that really means?

The way I see it, unless you are being given something for free, then the seller has certain obligations, especially if you are doing them the favor of giving them money and perhaps promoting to others.

So in reality there is an imbalance occurring, especially when sellers don't meet their obligations, both written and unwritten.

I'm not saying that a buyer doesn't benefit. Mostly they do, but not always, and really the buyer is the only one generally who has to extend trust. Trust that the purchase arrives, trust it is as specified, trust it is in good condition and will last a decent amount of time, trust it is legitimate, trust they are being charged a fair price ... and so on and so on.

Without Buyers, Sellers, even intermediary ones like Amazon and other stores, would be nothing ... wouldn't even exist.

So yes, from my perspective for sure, at the very least, there is certainly an obligation to the customer. The obligation is not a one way street though and neither should the trust be.

Buyers Unite!
