A planned deal may not move forward for a number of reasons and the buyer may want to withdraw the funds back, here's a few:
- a last-minute change of buyer's situation, personal/family emergency etc, and the funds are needed elsewhere, an order is not made at all
- the goods is no longer in stock in the demanded quantity and the ad has not been updated/hidden yet, resulting in a cancelled order
- the circumstances on the seller's side have changed and the mode of shipping required by the buyer is temporarily not available, resulting in a cancelled order (this happened to me once)
I advocate for Bazaar customers to be able to withdraw their funds. To some users having their funds locked in with no option to withdraw may have the same effect as losing the funds completely, at least in the short term.
I do not understand the remark "only phishers need to withdraw funds", could you please elaborate on the script that phishers use and how they exploit the withdrawals? Thank you.
