I sent them a message on Ebay. They didn't say "yes sure we love to sell to hobbyists what can we help you with! They referred me to the terms of sale which says the products aren't suited for home hobbyist use. They want nothing to do with hobbyists anymore. --- End quote --- I don't know if this really should be discussed in this thread. Still, I don't think this language is uncommon ("we only sell to business customers", "only suitable for professional use", etc). But many companies seem to have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy in practice. Basically, as long you don't explicitly state that you are buying for personal use or ask for clarification like you did, they just ignore it. This is clearly about consumer protection laws (return policy, warranty, dispute resolution, but also additional safety or EMC regulations that may apply). --- End quote --- Which gets even sillier when for instance the Australian consumer protection laws apply to both consumer and (many) B2B transactions, and the protections cannot be disclaimed away in any sales contract (law overrides contract terms). |

It’s very likely other members might like for you to do this also as it’s much easier for you to do so with your Admin powers/tools. TIA. |
