Trade Within The Marketplace

I have come across a few cases where a Buyer and a Seller have made a few transactions successfully and once confidence is built, they tend to trade off the marketplace and then quite unexpectedly, the transaction goes bad.

Now, I am not saying that either the Buyer or the Seller is the bad party because either one has the potential to be the baddie. Like I always say, it's all because of greed.

Even if you have traded a thousand times with your partner, it is always better to trade within the marketplace according to the rules and regulations so that should the Seller run away with your money or the Buyer runs away with your goods, you have a recourse.

And if you pay your purchases with PayPal, you always have the option to file a charge back if your Seller failed to deliver the goods or failed to deliver the goods as described.

If you were to trade outside the marketplace, either of you may save that little money is fees and charges but it will not be a recognised transaction and if you lose your product or money, you are on your own. So now you understand why it is beneficial to both parties to trade within the marketplace.
