It’s dumb (not you but the idea behind it).I'll chime in on this to put it to bed. As someone who worked for one of the companies that a lot of ppl buy resell shoes from, you bet your *** they buy shoes hold and then sell later.
They might say that they are buying up inventory to make it faster to ship to seller or expedite the process for you to get the shoes, but they are buying shoes, holding and then selling them to you themselves. Shoes ship out immediately and they get the fee twice. If they happen to go up in value in the mean time that's a win-win. Don't believe me? That's fine, I've seen stacks and stacks of shoes in "inventory" from returns or straight up purchases by the company.
It would be idiotic to not capitalize on this. There are no rules against it cuz they're a middle man service. They preach that you will never know who you are buying from or selling to, to prevent extra hassle etc. They're not monopolizing the market cuz the buyers set the market when they click purchase, not the sellers. You want prices to drop? Don't buy it at the current price, how do you think sales happen for retail stores?
Thank you all for playing have a nice day.
The notion that an establishment would “cancel” a million “sales” for extra profit, completely undermining their reputation as a business that couldn’t deliver goods to their paying consumers is rubbish.
In the age of Social Media, Do you understand the implications of such poor strategy?
