All sales are binding. The seller is obligated to ship the order or otherwise complete the transaction with the buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance, such as:

(a) the buyer fails to meet the terms of the seller's listing (such as payment method), or

(b) the seller cannot authenticate the buyer's identity.

The buyer is obligated to deliver appropriate payment for items purchased, unless there is an exceptional circumstance.

Both buyer and seller acknowledge and agree that transactions on the Site are between the buyer and seller. The Site exists as the platform for the transaction, but does not make BAJAAO a party to the transaction.

Any failure to complete a binding sale may result in immediate termination of your membership to BAJAAO.

BAJAAO encourages buyers to contact sellers when any issues or questions arise related to their order, and you should work with the buyer to resolve issues directly. If you are unable to resolve an order issue with a buyer directly, BAJAAO may be able to assist if the item is not delivered or not as described (i.e. the item received is significantly different from the listing description based on appearance, condition, etc). However, there are some important details to note for specific situations:
