Chargebacks







Disputed transactions are termed as chargebacks. These charges are disputed by customers on their credit cards for different types of transactions. When a dispute is made, the merchant reverses that transaction and customer gets his money back. These are meant to protect customers from all kinds of unauthorized transactions.
This helps customers to stay away from waste of time arguing with suppliers on a transaction’s legitimacy wherein the customer can simply initiate a chargeback transfer from them.
There are a few unscrupulous customers who use this facility heedlessly which could result in major losses for the company. For example, a small business owner who purchases a video camera for $300 decides to sell it off at $500 would get a profit of $200. And if the customer, during billing and payment circle, initiates for a chargeback, the seller loses both the profit and the money spent on purchasing the camera.
Chargebacks can occur due to many reasons like that related to goods or services where items are not shipped or the shipped goods are defective ones; credit card related issues where unauthorized mail or telephone transactions take place; invalid credit card or account number is provided or due to technical problems like duplicate processing and human error.

A supply chain management method where the retailer does not keep stock of goods but transfers orders received from customers and its shipment details to the manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer, and then they ship it directly to the customer is called as drop shipping.

The drop shipping retailer keeps goods on display in his physical brick and mortar store or even provides online product catalogue or hard copy to its customers for reviewing and purchasing.  This occurs when small retailers receive single large order for a product. Here, he arranges for the goods to be shipped directly from the manufacturer or distributor ...

Bid-Ask Spread

Image
The amount by which the ask price is exceeded by the bid price for an asset in the market is called as a bid-ask spread. It is essentially the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for an asset and probably the lowest one at which the seller would be willing to accept. An individual who is looking forward to sell will receive the bid price at which he is looking to buy, will end up paying the ask price. In short, bid-ask spread is the difference between the highest price which a buyer is willing to pay for an asset and the lowest price a seller would be willing to accept. The transaction cost involved here is referred to as spread and the price takers buy at the ask price to sell them at bid price whereas market maker buys at bid price and sells them at the ask price.

Bailment

In common law, bailment refers to a contractual transfer of assets or property from a bailor to a bailee where the bailor temporarily relinquishes possession and not ownership of the property. It describes a legal relationship where a personal property’s physical possession is transferred from one person to another who later takes possession but not total ownership as such. Bailment, in finance, means legitimate transfer of securities like shares of stock from one individual (owner) to another for short selling. Here, short selling means an investment or trading strategy where people bet on a decline in the price of securities. An example of bailment is a leased apartment where a tenant possesses and uses the apartment but in reality he does not own it. There are three types of bailments: a.        A bailment which benefits both the bailor and bailee b.        A bailment that benefits only the bailor c. ...
