Also, it won’t let me double-check my order to make sure, in this case, that they really did claim that the book was in good condition when there are pages falling out. No matter what I click on, it won’t let me.
I rarely buy anything from eBay, but I really didn’t think someone would be that dishonest about the condition of a book. And I guess eBay facilitated it.
The worst part is that I used to be an eBay seller about 10 years ago and eBay would not have been this courteous to me back then. Serious enshittification.
You also can’t leave bad reviews if you return an item.
I bought an item that had issues, wanted to return it and the seller accused me of sending back in a different item. Once I got ebay involved I got them to approve the return, but like a day later I got a message from the seller that I assume he meant to send to someone else accusing them of trying to scam them as well. I almost wanted to eat the $40 so I could leave the bad review, but I know ebay would just remove it or something.
I had a fake item sent to me, reported to eBay to request a refund, got an immediate refund, seller asked to return the item. I said no, its fake I’ll bin it. Left negative feedback that the items are fake. eBay then removed the review and let the seller keep selling. At least he had one less item to sell and was out of pocket on postage
