There is always risks involved in buying groups. You're not comprehending the fact by participating, you are gambling. Why do you think you're 100% covered? Please point out to me any document that was signed by both parties stating your protections. You weren't hired for anything. You were offered to complete a transaction that have the odds heavily in their favor.
You literally are buying/fronting for someone who doesn't have an enforceable signed contract. You assume 100% of the risk until you're paid. The package can be stolen, the company can go out of business. Who do you think is going to make you whole? The credit card company? They'll find out you were trying to resell, and that claim is null and void. The shipping company? Good luck filing claims. If the buying group goes belly up, and they hold on to your items, what are you going to do?
Stay clear if you can't handle it, emotionally or financially. Go back to the bubble wrapped, consumer protected retail flipping, where you own what you buy and sell for yourself, and even there, you can get scammed. You have no real protection doing buying groups.
If you bought reseller tickets that's your own fault but I think it's still very shady that they changed the terms after they found out that the tickets weren't as profitable as they predicted. For buyers that fallowed all the rules and didn't buy reseller tickets and was expecting a commission but they turned around and just said no commission after the fact is pretty bad. I get there are risk involved in buying for them but this just makes them lose credibility and I would not want to continue buying for them.
