It is very difficult to protect your rights in jade transactions, especially these 5 types!

Rights protection, a word that sounds like a headache, not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also may not be worth the loss in the end. Therefore, unless the loss is particularly serious, most people will choose to admit defeat.

Especially for commodities like jadeite which can easily cost tens of thousands, it would be best if you can buy the genuine product that you like and has a high cost-performance ratio at one time. But once you buy a fake or an extremely expensive one , it is really heartbreaking!

Many people say that they can protect their rights if they buy high-priced or fake products. But do you know how difficult it is to protect your rights in the current mixed market of jadeite? If you don’t believe it, Shopkeeper Cui will show you about it today!

Custom Jade Bracelet

Bracelets are the best-selling style every year. Almost every young lady who likes jade has one, so good bracelets are not cheap. Therefore, many businesses have launched the "custom bracelet" service, because after all, it is still the period of sheet materials, and there is a certain price advantage in buying bracelets at this time.

However, even in the category of "custom jade bracelets", there are scams, and there are many real cases, such as the following one:

Ms. Han, who likes jade bracelets, found a private bracelet customization shop on an online shopping platform. When she asked to buy the bracelet, the customer service asked her to add WeChat to see the raw materials. The raw material number she chose at that time was p219, which looked delicate in texture, rich in green, very transparent, and had already reached a state of full-color floating flowers.

At that time , the marked price of this material was 16,888 yuan, and the promotional price was 12,800 yuan . Unexpectedly, the customer service told Ms. Han that if she did not place an order through the platform, she could get it by WeChat transfer for only 10,000 yuan, and it could be processed for another 1,300 yuan. This immediately impressed Ms. Han, and she chose WeChat transfer.

After the WeChat transfer, Ms. Han was full of expectations. She received the bracelet a few days later, but the result made her extremely disappointed. Therefore, Ms. Han discovered that the bracelet she customized was completely different from the material she had originally chosen , and none of the bracelet's water quality and color met her expectations.

In a fit of anger, Ms. Han contacted the merchant to return the goods and get a refund, but the other party did not respond for a long time. She had no choice but to file a complaint with the online shopping platform. However, since Ms. Han did not have the transaction receipt, the platform was powerless to help. After all this trouble, Ms. Han spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a piece of junk that was not what she ordered. It was really not worth it.

Live gambling room

The tricks of "gambling on stones" exposed on 315 this year, Cui Zhanggui also talked about it. What was introduced on TV may be just the tip of the iceberg, but do you know? Gambling on stones in live broadcast rooms is actually a hotbed of transaction disputes.

A long time ago, CCTV disclosed a case of selling fake jadeite rough stones during live broadcast. A piece of jadeite rough stone with a marked price of 150,000 yuan was actually bargained down to 6,688 yuan for the family members of the so-called anchor. The price difference made many spectators eager to make a move, and soon the rough stone was bought by a netizen.

However, when the netizen bought it and cut it open, the promised high ice grade jade turned out to be less than glutinous grade, and this jade was worth 150,000 yuan. When netizens go to the merchants to argue, the merchants will generally tell you that " gambling on stones is risky, and this only shows that you are unlucky."

In addition, the most common thing is that the gambling stones bought in the live broadcast room are actually replaced after arrival. The merchants praise the raw stones to the sky when selling them, and add a host who is "good at bargaining" to make you think you are getting a bargain, so you make up your mind to buy it. When you come to your senses and feel that something is wrong, you may not even be able to find the live broadcast room, let alone protect your rights.

Jadeite rough goods

Various e-commerce models have emerged in the past two years, and the sales methods are also varied. Some sell finished raw materials, some sell rough bracelets, and some directly do private customization of jade. In order to avoid too much risk, some people will not gamble on raw stones, but choose raw materials. But is it worth gambling on rough jade?

The fact is, when it comes to betting on raw goods, don't believe any host's fancy introduction. You need your own practical experience. Also, don't judge the quality of the goods by a video, because a novice can only see the approximate quality and color of the raw goods. Some cracks and impurities will not be less than those in the finished products , and you cannot guarantee which finished product these raw materials are most suitable for.

Netizen Mr. Zhao told his experience online. He saw a live broadcast room on a short video platform. It was very popular and mainly sold rough jade. Under the host's hoarse shouting and the rolling bids in the subtitles, he spent 4,800 yuan to buy a piece of rough jade. The host said that this piece of jade had high ice content and it would definitely be a big profit. Mr. Zhao paid an additional 600 yuan for polishing.

Half a month later, Mr. Zhao received the raw material product. The material was obviously the one he bought, and the goods were also polished. It turned out that it was not high ice at all, but just glutinous ice, and many clearly visible small cracks could be seen. Mr. Zhao also requested a return, only to see the note behind the order: (Raw goods are not returnable). He suffered the same loss!

Polishing powder and dyed jadeite

Why does the color of this bracelet seen in the live broadcast room look very beautiful, but after wearing it for a short time, the color becomes darker and darker, and you can't even see the previous beautiful color? When we went to the merchant to return the goods, the merchant directly denied that the goods were theirs. When we took photos and submitted them to the platform, the request was rejected because of the discrepancy between the goods.

What's the trick here? In fact, the color of many jades on the market is very poor and cannot be sold at all. Some merchants will first make certificates for the jade, and then apply a layer of colored polishing powder to make it appear to consumers that the jade has good quality and color.

However, when you wear it for a while, you find that the jade has faded and returned to its original color, but you have a certificate. You cannot say it is a fake, but the color has faded again, so it is quite troublesome to protect your rights. With a color as enchanting and weird as this, people who often come into contact with jade can tell that it has been dyed. If you really like jade like this, buy it and have it reinspected immediately, and make sure it can be returned.

Tourist Attractions Purchase

Cui Zhanggui has said more than once that you should not buy jadeite at tourist attractions , and the "low-price travel" scam has been exposed countless times. However, the tragedy I want to talk about today is more "awesome". The protagonist of the tragedy, Ms. Sun, went to Xiamen last year, but she did not report to a travel agency, but joined a privately organized tour group.

The cost of traveling is very low, but the jade articles that Ms. Sun bought during the trip: a jade bracelet, a pair of black jade dragon and phoenix plaques and a zodiac pendant, cost a total of 65,800 yuan.

All of these jade pieces are heavily discounted, and the prices are very attractive, so Ms. Sun is so "generous".

A bracelet worth 560,000 yuan is discounted to 30,000 yuan. The black jade dragon and phoenix pendant originally cost 180,000 yuan but now only costs 30,000 yuan. The zodiac pendant worth 6,600 yuan is only 1,200 yuan. However, after the purchase, after having them evaluated by jade experts, it was discovered that the market price of these so-called high-end jades was only about 5,000 yuan per package . The 10-fold difference shocked Ms. Sun.

Therefore, just relax when you go out for fun, and think carefully before buying expensive gems at scenic spots. After all, it is impossible for consumers to say that they bought fake goods while traveling and then go back to the merchant to dispute. Even if they go back, the vendor may not be in the original place, which is time-consuming, laborious and costly.

To sum up, Cui Zhanggui summarizes the following points for jade lovers, hoping to help everyone buy cost-effective jade. First: Do not transfer money via WeChat to unfamiliar merchants. Second, do not try to get a bargain that is too cheap. Third, do not buy rough materials or customized products if you don’t understand them. Fourth, do not buy jade at tourist attractions!

The last piece of old-fashioned advice I would like to leave for everyone is that you must carefully examine the jadeite you buy and make sure to choose reliable merchants and platforms.
