generally its not cool to resell someone else's stuff without their consent.
resellers and proxy's can have a negative effect on quality
which then affect customer's perception of a product.

100% and the other question is does that person actually ship or are the trying to scam?
Hopefully nostr:nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0cg36l7 sees this Monero demand and changes his tune on Monero.
This isn’t a good start tbh
I agree with you…
Sorry for starting a kerfuffle…
Pac suggested maybe they are just payment proxying
ie they receive Monero payment and then place the order with Oshi on behalf of the customer
and DONT actually hold any of Oshis product.
should still talk to Oshi first of course
but it avoids the QC issues I mentioned
and I'm not sure I'd say doing it was unethical or anything.... 🤔
should probably consider this possibility nostr:npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh
seems more likely unless you've received other large orders to a single address lately.
they should still ask you to do it imo, but it's nothing you can prevent afaict either
Nah you did good bb thank you for looking out. Absolute soldier.
Seriously what's wrong with this? If someone purchases from you with fiat via strikes fiat to lightning rail, Strike is serving as the same thing acting as a proxy to another currency.
People who use proxies with Monero do so for OPSEC reasons. I use xmrbazaar proxy sellets for Amazon for obvious reasons. You wouldn't have gotten their business either way and in this scenario you're getting more business than not.
What business is yours if the proxy seller is buying for themselves or for someone else and taking Monero from it?
I'm very curious about the backlash, they're not taking profit from you you're getting 100% of the sale. I'm open to your perspective I want to know what's offensive about it.
It’s turning me off even more. It’s gross.
"Without their consent" is manipulative framing - it implies theft when this is just voluntary exchange. Once you sell something, the buyer owns it and can do whatever they want with it.
not if they want to continue having a relationship with the seller they cant.
human relationships are usually more than transactional and therefore they dont end when the transaction is completed.
