'The customer is always right' ..... doesn't mean anything any more.
Don't get me wrong - actual customers will always have no power no matter what platform there is.
The problem these days is that sellers, competitors, marketers and salesmen have co-opted the idea of 'customers' to screw over the entire system for everyone - customers and sellers.
Whatever you do in online sales, whether it is selling or buying ... never trust anyone and don't promise anything beyond what you are originally expected to do.
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same .... runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
