Well again you have to take in to account that it is going to resolution...and when it does...they would notice if you had a pattern or history of refunds... and the do not...and I certainly said no where that the buyer would get a full refund. Let alone the words every time. Nothing is going to be every time. They do take into account the history of the account. But yes... it would be possible for a vendor or a buyer to lie and pull of a scam...once maybe twice..but again both you and the OP were making suggestions that in the OPs case he said a vendor could ALWAYS get 50% and not send anything...and that is simply not true. And in your case you said a full refund every time..Nothing and no one is going to be able to pull of a scam for an extended period of time. And I feel both of you were asking about that...could a vendor or a buyer ALWAYS pull off a scam...and the answer is NO. Anytime something go's to resolution...they are keeping track of how many disputed you have as a buyer vs how many packages you send...and if you are a buyer they are keeping track of how many times you claim not to get a package. And on international orders they of course would need something different then a DCN...and take other things into consideration. Also you both are talking about people that are clearly pulling a scam...and the buyer could pull off WAY more scams then a vendor could. And that is not even close. And there are plenty of international vendor that simply will not vendor to certain country's...like Russia...as a lot of buyers from there will claim they never received the item. But here in the USA....if you ship priority or Express you will ALWAYS have proof of delivery and it would be very hard for someone to claim they didn't get it...yes it happens...but it is rare. I have never had someone claim they didn't get a package. And I have never sent a package without a DCN...and I do not know a vendor that is in the USA that does not use a DCN. They like to claim the count was off or the weight was off. That yes they got the package...but it was not right. Those of course are harder to prove...and that is where resolution is going to look at your feedback and history if you are a vendor...and if you are a buyer they are going to look at how long and how many packages you have ordered and if you have made claims before. If you notice...when there is a problem vendor here that we all call out...he is always less then 1 month old. The new system they put in place a few months ago...has made it very difficult for a vendor to be a scammer. truth is...it is stupid to scam..you make way more money being legit. Bottom line is NO VENDOR is going to make a killing sending no packages and claiming they did...or sending an empty package and claim the buyer is lying. Yes all this could be done once...but again..this is why you as a buyer should use a trusted vendor that has been with SR for some time with great stats...if you choose right...you can bet you will get exactly what you ordered and you will get it every single time. PERIOD!
