C) From experience of last 10 years in Online Retailing | Cake Decorating Craft have come to the conclusion from experience that when Product quality is Good and the Prices is High as a Seller we get good quality buyers however the average Sales turnover is low | However when the Product Quality is High but the Price is Low the Sales turnover increase, however as a Business we get customers with a higher mix of Good and Unscrupulous Buyers.

D) Due to the higher amount of Unscrupulous Buyers these days the cost of selling increases creating a pressure for Cake Decorating Craft as a business to increase the price of the Products after sometime. However we as a seller thinks it’s not fair for all the brilliant quality customers so it’s more appropriate as a Business to create a fair , straight forward , clear , practical and easy to understand Terms and Conditions for the buyers to create a good buying experience and avoid unnecessary frustration for Seller and Buyer .
