Talking about the experience of purchasing orchids on the Internet

Author: drunken Weng Lanting

Because there are many differences between online orchid purchase and actual orchid purchase, in many ways, buyers are in an unequal position.

1) first of all, there is inequality in information. The seller has a clear understanding of all the situations of his orchid, but because of the virtual nature of online shopping, buyers of online shopping can not see and touch the items they are interested in like buying orchids. They can only understand and guess the orchid from the pictures and descriptions provided by the seller, and make their own decisions on this basis. The buyer's "disappointment" or "surprise" after receiving the orchid is also caused by the limit of the right to know.

2) then there is the inequality of the transaction process. Generally speaking, at present, online transactions require payment to be delivered. In other words, the buyer has to pay before he can start the transaction.

Therefore, when buying orchids, buyers must pay attention to the credit of the target sellers, and those who have a lot of bad reviews should stay away. The credit of some sellers is hyped to pay attention to his transaction records, analysis, there can be a general.

I think as long as there is too obvious credit hype, this kind of seller is not trustworthy. Because the most important thing on the Internet is integrity, cheating on credit itself is a very serious dishonesty.

Countermeasure: credit is all fake, can we still believe his orchid?

1. Low price trap

You can buy orchids worth more than a few thousand yuan for 300 RMB500 and a good Xiashanmei for a few hundred yuan.

A few thousand yuan can buy a good downhill three-star butterfly? There is such a good thing in the world, and you can get it at the click of a mouse without leaving the house.

Countermeasure: too surprisingly cheap. Don't expect it. All right, so be normal, normal price. The buyer is at a disadvantage, there are no pies, and there are many pitfalls.

two。 Transfer flowers and trees (delivery trap).

What you shot is a beautiful crystal apple head, but what you receive is like a pickled cauliflower coming out of the pickle altar. What is it? the fairy fainted when he saw the flower. Inform the seller of the situation, and the seller vows to guarantee the authenticity of the variety, saying that "if it blossoms in a few years, it will be paid tenfold" (as it seems to be), but now there is no refund or refund.

Countermeasure: no matter whether it is true or false, complain to the network manager immediately, according to the regulations of the website, the villain will complain to the end. Even if you don't get a refund this time, don't let him continue to deceive others. Only the seller knows whether this thing is true or false, and the seller knows very well that the real goods are returned, and there is almost no loss to the seller, so they can generally accept returns (I have accepted returns). However, if the fake goods are returned, this scam will not be returned for a while, and it will continue to deceive you with better words, making you feel that you have benefited from misfortune. I hope that the blossom next year is not true, so that you can get 10 times the reparations promised by him. That would be too much!

3. One of the empty-handed wolves: case 1: a large pot of mountain orchids, dozens of seedlings, only one or two flowers, very good dishes or plums, please look at the flower pictures, in order to meet the needs of orchid friends, divided into a dozen pots for sale, only a pot with flowers, please look at seedling pictures, do not make money, just make friends, meet the needs, auction at a low price. (a litter of dozens of yuan line flowers can sell for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, which is also the strong support of all orchid friends! )

Countermeasure: this kind of auction item, had better not look, lest be disturbed by the picture and low price, press the mouse, lose hundreds of thousands of yuan not to say, but also lose several years' expectation. At the same time, remember the old saying, "buy flowers when you see flowers, buy people without flowers". If you are deceived by someone you trust, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid and trusting others easily.

4. Empty-handed Wolf II: case 2

The old kind has no flowers, the grass is strong and the price is low, and you have everything you want, but there are no flowers with you. Leave is worth ten (a few years later). This kind of auction, I take a look, there is a very market, often Lan you posted on the forum, asked: is this great wealth really? Is this green cloud a fake? Any master to distinguish between true and false is nonsense, true, false, only immortals know. Countermeasure: the old saying, "buy flowers when you see flowers, buy people without flowers" as long as you trust this person, whether it's true or false, buy it. Don't trust this person, no matter it's true or false, don't buy it. Do you need to ask? If you are deceived by someone you trust, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid, clumsy and greedy. You can't blame the website or any other expert. There are many scams in buying orchids online, and some scams do not exist alone, but are a combination of a variety of frauds. For example, the joint use of "shifting flowers and trees" and "one of the empty-handed wolves" is an actual case on the Internet.

According to my summary and analysis, online buying orchid, the most risky scam is the "empty-handed wolf." Accounting for more than 80% of all scams, as long as you avoid this risk, coupled with the "normal mind, normal price" when buying orchids, it is estimated that there are not many chances of being cheated, and online transactions will be safe and happy.
