One of the ways to attain a smoother transaction is to post the prices of items, as it is also mandated by Republic Act 7394 or the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
The much-talked-about post also emphasized that it is illegal to sell products without displaying their prices.
“HINDI COOL ang PM SENT sa online selling! Gawing smooth ang iyong transaction kaya ilagay na ang presyo ng produktong binebenta mo,” it said.
“Tandaan! Nakasaad sa RA 7394 o Consumer Act of the Philippines na unlawful ang pagbebenta ng kahit na anong produkto na walang karampatang price tag, label or marking ng presyo ng produkto,” it added.
