In the physical store, you cannot ask the staff to put away the
merchandise for a week without any commitment especially it is the only
one left on the shelf.Also, the physical stores do not have to paid the
big brothers (like Ebay and PayPal) x% fee...
strcastle, if you succeed in getting a home loan from the bank and right
away you say "thanks and no thanks because I got it elsewhere", do you
think the bank is going to pad on your shoulder and say you are always
welcome ?
Buyers should be asked to pay a fee equivalent to say 10% of the item if
they do not think before they commit ( may be commit means nothing to
Ebay and the buyer) to buy.
