I never buy stuff online from:

--artists who overprice their works
--dealers who try to make a killing on every item, big or small

especially if I am an artist myself and I would rather buy stuff directly from their source rather than through a third party. 

Why should I pay for their monthly rent, their groceries, their bills, and their children's tuition for something I don't really need anyway?

I also never buy stuff online from:

--vendors who insist on getting paid first rather than agree to a cash-on-delivery basis
--riders who won't accept landline numbers and insist on being given a cell phone number 

First of all, I am the one with the money and the one who is paying in cash, and so I will shop only on my own terms, whether offline or online.

Secondly, with all that technology (Wayz, GPS, Messenger, tracking maps, et cetera), why does an atchay rider have to call me to hear my voice and ask me, "Ser, saan po kayo banda?" Is a buyer not real to them if they do not hear his voice?

I would rather keep my money, and, thankfully, I often do.
