wishful thought, but probably won't work in reality. Even large companies like amazon.com is unwilling about their customer service, how can you expect a seller trying to make a few quick bucks from his basement to support customer service.
but I do agree the feedbacks are useless. if I want an item badly and the seller is the only provider of it, I am willing to accept the risk.
I think ebay should be more active in making sure transactions are completed fair and squarely; but they don't, just like amazon.com, they rely on "legality" to make themselves free from any responsibilities, which also gives other "referree" companies an opportunity to make more money out of peoples misery.
always remember the law of supply and demand. the situation nowadays is partly because our own companies loved to take advantages of foreign cheap labor and cheap goods. just take a look and see many us companies outsources to foreign countries and the good old quality service has virtually vanished? without the incentive of high demand, I doubt the chinese want to produce stupid toys.
why everytime china goofs, they have to emphasize on the "china" or "chinese" part? it is not like our own companies never goofed (e.g. Dole used pesticide that sterilized its workers, and Gap used child labors etc.). After all, isn't it our own toy designers that came up with this "woo, if you pour water on the date-rape drug, they stick together" idea and the poor chinese factories are merely following the instructions? or am I missing something?
This is indeed mind boggling. Have you ever noticed how many Chinese online users hang out in BBS and converse? I never seen users in the states having such a passion about BBS.
