do you know how common Robert's scenario is ? It happens in many industries.

In the motor trade you often get people wanted to "test drive" a car over an evening or weekend, only to find out they just needed it for an event, or to move house etc.

Back in my childhood we had family friends that would buy clothing from a shop, leave the label on, atttend a wedding/part and then return the item.

We get it in retail as well. Customers buy stuff because they having a party and need "props" then they return it on a Monday. Most of the time with parts missing or broken.

Slightly off topic but I know of someone that adds stuff to their order on takealot to get the free shipping and then does a return of said stuff. Humans don’t like to play by the rules and suck a lot. The world would be better if we were a little more mindful of others.

I thought about an interesting loop hole this morning when using BHP. So let's say I am the buyer of a certain item or kit. I use BHP and the item arrives on a Friday or even a Thursday for that matter. I then decide to fit the item to my bike and take it out for a test run before confirming that the item has been delivered. After testing it I then return it and claim it to not be what I am looking for / want. Is there something that safeguards the seller against something like this? 

I'd suggest that dishonest people are dishonest people no matter what system is used to complete the transaction.

Ultimately, BikeHub pay is a LOT safer and better than the blind trust scenario.
