I would prefer it if buyers can pay part of the full price, say 20% of the full price (non refundable), so it shows commitment on the buyer's end.

I think you have the wrong business model. You are trying to protect the business instead of providing a product that the customer wants.

Selling and buying for people is a different thing. Business is really difficult. But if you piss customers off, then it'll lead more to it's downfall.

I don't disagree but pissing sellers off making things difficult they won't survive either. If I run a business is to make profit not to loose money just because your wants become less suddenly. I rather protect the business first and reward my customers than give in to whatever customers want.

Business is a difficult thing. That we all agree. Sometimes I rather not make business than loose money. is a two way street.

Oh 20 devy was an example as a seller if you were a small business. I was indicating if customers suddenly all decided to drop their orders last minute while you as the seller have paid up front for all these orders.
