With all the legislation about buying and selling goods that exists in the developed countries i'm afraid I can't agree with you. Sellers have all sorts of obligations, enforced both by governments and by individuals in Courts and even cheap tribunals. Each state has its equivalent of a Department of Fair Trading and a Fair Trading Tribunal. The latter is very pro-consumer and a seller often loses even if they win because of the time and inconvenience involved. There are numerous statutory warranties. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the extent of regulation is such that hte balance is in favour of Buyers.
And, of course, try telling any EBay seller who has been defrauded by buyers who fraudulently claim never to have received the goods. Anecdotally this has become such a problem on EBay that they are losing many sellers.
