What is the operation of buying a wild elephant online for 0.5 yuan?

　　Sino-Singapore Jingwei, March 2 (Wei Wei) "Some people spend money on food and drink, some people spend money on ordering songs, some people pay money on massage...some people pay money to hire me to chat with others." In the opening of the 2000 Spring Festival Gala sketch "Part-time Worker" , Song Dandan said such a jingle.

Recently, Mr. Jingwei discovered that there are still people spending money to buy "wild elephants that can act like a baby".

What is this operation?

An elephant that can speak dialect and cook?

　　Ever wanted to buy an elephant one day?

Recently, some netizens shared their experience of buying "elephants" online on social platforms, which quickly aroused netizens' onlookers.

　　The screenshot shows that the netizen bought a wild elephant for 0.5 yuan.

The picture of the product is an elephant walking on the grassland. In the brackets, it is noted that the order will be placed and the elephant will walk over by itself. The delivery address is Afghanistan.

　　The chat records show that the netizen asked when the elephant he bought could come over.

The businessman sent a video of the elephant walking and said that "it has already set off."

　　Netizens continued to ask: "Does he know the way?" The merchant replied: "Look at the map and navigate by yourself, and you won't get lost."

　　Jingwei searched online and found that there are not a few "elephant" sellers, and some stores sell 400 orders a month.

The purchase page of a store shows:

There is no refund for elephants sold, the elephants are gone, I have to run to chase them back!

　　And these "elephants" are also proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts. Some shops claim that wild elephants "can speak dialects, cook, and help with children."

　　And for a few cents, you can buy not only wild elephants, but also Dumbo elephants, elephants that have received nine years of compulsory education, adult male elephants with the most horsepower, and their partners.

　　There are also various mutant elephants, such as black and white panda elephants, ginger yellow butterfly elephants, colorful long-legged plum blossom elephants, camel-colored octopus elephants, and ice-silver mammoths.

In the question-and-answer area of ​​the product, many netizens asked whether the elephant would knock the door into the air, whether it could be used to pull the plow, etc.

Beware of looking forward to disappointment

　　Jingwei Jun found that some merchants did not indicate on the page that they were virtual commodities.

Some merchants wrote on the product page that entertainment items are not real elephants, and at the same time emphasized that "entertainment and chat services are provided after purchase".

If you are a customer who really buys for chatting, you may have to keep your eyes open.

　　Mr. Jingwei tried to take a picture of a "little elephant" in a store on an e-commerce platform. After confirming that he wanted to take a picture of a little elephant, the customer service sent a video of the little elephant walking, and said that the little elephant "can massage, Arithmetic, know ballet".

　　But I was not so lucky after being photographed in another store. The monthly sales of this store showed 300+.

After taking pictures, I asked customer service, but there was not even a reply.

　　In the product question and answer area of ​​other stores, some buyers also said that they were cheated of 1 yuan, and they would not care about you after placing the order, and the refund merchant would also refuse.

　　Do you think "wild elephant" is the limit of imagination?

There are also a variety of strange products on the online shopping platform, such as Einstein's IQ, "Let Einstein bless your IQ, if you feel that your IQ has not increased, you can apply for a return"; Wild Rainbow, "Orders will be delivered automatically after rain or shine" ; You can also buy a "lesson" to go home for 10 cents; you can even buy love luck +100, wealth luck +100, etc.

　　Is it legal to buy and sell virtual wild animals online?

In response to this behavior, Yang Fan, a lawyer from Beijing Junyong Law Firm, said in an interview with the media that wild animals, especially nationally protected animals such as elephants and tigers, cannot be sold.

What is sold on the online shopping platform is more of an entertainment nature.

But as far as consumer rights are concerned, if the product page does not specify that it is not a real animal, and the customer pays but does not ship, the merchant may be suspected of fraud.

　　Wang Deyi, a lawyer from Beijing Xunzhen Law Firm, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that if the trading rules are disclosed to users and the two parties voluntarily trade spontaneously, there will be no problem.

However, many commodities on the online mall are only used for placing orders, and there may be other transactions between the two parties.

　　Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association of the China Law Society, said in an interview with Sino-Singapore Jingwei that as long as consumers have needs, they can indeed enrich people's material or cultural life. It is completely understandable to provide similar products. But the basic bottom line must be there.

　　Chen Yinjiang believes that, first of all, commodity transactions need to abide by existing laws and regulations, and cannot violate public order and good customs, and cannot damage the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Secondly, no matter whether it is a commodity or a service,

If it is a virtual commodity, it must also To fully inform consumers of the real situation, it is necessary to make a real explanation or clear warning in advance of the relevant precautions.

　　In this regard, some netizens said that 50 cents buys a good, buys a little bit, and expects a moment.

Some netizens said that Bamao still has to spend brainpower to make up stories to chat with you, it is worth it!

However
