Some people placed an order for a white short dress through an IG purchasing agency account. However, when they received the item and put it on, they were stunned. Their underwear and skin color were all visible, and they thought it was a defective item. However, people privately messaged the seller to inquire, but the other party said that unlike a haunted house, they must be informed. If asked in advance, they would tell them. They even posted screenshots of the buyer's conversation records for public trial.

Put on a small white dress, but you can see what you are wearing underneath. People like to wear resort-style dresses when going out in summer, but this really makes consumers unable to wear them out.

The consumer involved said: "I wear white underwear, and you can clearly see my skin color and the look of the underwear. Most girls who buy clothes will know that white is slightly see-through. Compared with other colors, But being slightly translucent and being so translucent that you can’t wear it outside are actually different levels.”

I spent more than 1,000 yuan to place an order on IG. I thought I received a defective product and sent a private message to the seller. However, the reply I got was that if I had asked before buying, I would have been told that the white short dress would be see-through, and it had been sold for more than a month. Thousands of things, I believe most people can accept it. This is not like a haunted house or a leaking house that must be informed. There is no consensus in the communication between the two parties, just.

The seller took a screenshot of the conversation record with the consumer and posted a limited-time dynamic public review, saying that he was constantly being verbally harassed. Finally, he emphasized again that you are responsible for the style and color you choose.

The consumer involved said: "The conversation between us did not delete my name and was directly posted on his limited-time update. However, in the update he sent, he only captured the conversation between me and him and not the part of the conversation he had. A full-body photo of me in my dress.”

In this regard, the seller did not respond before the deadline. It may violate the law to only disclose the incomplete conversation through screenshots.

Lawyer Li Yusheng: "If the seller intentionally posts screenshots of private conversations with the intention of damaging other people's reputation, it may constitute defamation under the criminal law and be punished by a prison sentence of less than one year."

In fact, many people now buy procured goods through the Internet. Consumer protection officials also remind that if there is a problem when shopping on social platforms, it is difficult to trace it back to the seller himself, and consumers may bear greater risks.

I’m afraid I’ve learned from experience this time. Before buying clothes, it’s recommended to inquire and confirm the material and light transmittance before placing an order.
