Nowhere on any paperwork I received is buy dot com mentioned. they brokered the sale for a third party. If they are acting as an intermediate broker, I do not know if they have any liability. Sort of like the ny times cannot be held liable for the ads run in their newspaper.
That is more and more the case with buy. I don't think they warehouse anything anymore, they seem to be more into dropshipping than anything else.
