Wechat buying, is it really cheap? 微信购物，真的非常便宜吗？

We often come across various cheap offers on wechat. Are they really cheap? We tried to analyse this and let’s see what we found out.

我们经常在微信上遇到各种便宜的优惠促销。但是它们真的很便宜吗？我们试图来做下分析，看看我们发现了什么。

Often the sellers who offer cheap prices are not related to the industry or we can say they do not have enough technical knowledge to deal in those goods. Ultimately buyers lands up in a situation where he has already paid money but is not getting value for goods that he desired.

价格低廉的卖家往往不分行业，或者我们可以说他们没有足够的技术知识来处理这些商品。 最终买家却会遇到他已经付了钱但未能获得他想要的物品价值的尴尬。

Not all the times these incident happen unknowingly from seller’s side. Sometimes it is done intentionally. We came across an incident whereby cheap shoes were being sold. Goods were getting delivered but most of the time, size of shoes was less than the needed size. Stickers were put for the same size what buyer was looking for, after removing the sticker, embossing for size was different. There were all types of arguments and ultimately buyer ended up losing his money and trying to find a friend or relative who can use those shoes.

并非所有这些事件都是在卖方的不知情的情况下发生的，有时候他们甚至是故意的。我们就曾遇到过出售便宜鞋子的事件。虽然货物已被派发，但大多数时候鞋子的尺寸会小于你所需的尺寸。开始鞋盒上贴纸的尺寸与买家所寻找的尺寸相同，但当贴纸被移除后，就容易出现不同的尺寸。出现这样的情况，尽管买家会和卖家进行争辩，但最终买家还是失去了他的钱，只能找到可以穿这双鞋的朋友或亲戚并送给对方。

Major problems is with electronic goods. For example Laptops, these cheap laptops are so called refurbished laptops or you can say used laptops. There are various percentages mentioned, such as 90% new or 80% new or 99% new. We were unable to understand how they decide about the percentage of use. They were unable to give clear picture on that.

主要问题还是聚焦在电子产品上。比如笔记本电脑，这些便宜的笔记本电脑就是所谓的翻新笔记本电脑，或者您可以说是已经被使用过的笔记本电脑。他们会经常提到几成新，例如九成新或八成新或99%为新。我们无法理解他们是如何决定使用百分比的。他们并不能给出清晰的解释。

We found out, people selling these goods lack sufficient knowledge to handle issues. We found out at times they even lacked knowledge about the configuration and they were dependent upon their sellers to check the same.

我们发现，销售这些商品的人缺乏足够的知识来处理这些问题。我们发现，有时他们甚至缺乏关于配置方面的知识，而且他们依赖他们的供应商卖家来查看同样的问题。

Should we stop buying these products? Not at all. Not all the sellers are incompetent or cheaters. Best way to buy is to check certain points such as background of the seller, his/her knowledge about the product, his/her technical skills. Everyone has got rights to earn money or save money. Important question is how that money is earned or saved?

我们应该停止购买这些产品吗？一点也不。并非所有的卖家都是无能或欺骗者。最好的购买方式是检查某些要点，比如卖家的背景，他/她对产品的知识以及他/她的技术技能。每个人都有权赚钱或省钱，重要的问题是这个钱是如何赚到的或节省的？

You cannot expect a cook to give you good laptops and vice-a-versa.

你不可能期待一个厨师可以给你一个号的笔记本电脑，反之亦然。
