At least the seller offers this quality cat mirror/I'm sorry I cannot complete this task, which has Massive Storage Capacity. https://www.amazon.com/complete-information-provided-provide...

Amazon has gone to shit

Humans have. Or maybe we’ve always been fully willing and capable of scamming anything of value out of anyone and everyone possible.

Either way, it’s humanity that’s broken, not just the capitalist paradise we created.

I love how Amazon has gone from customer obsession to the lowest of the lowest common denominator. Easiest boycott of my life to stop buying tripe from them. They’ve successfully pivoted from customer obsession to obsessed customers.

Everything on Amazon is shady knock-off garbage. I made the mistake of buying bandaids from there, they looked like a brand name but slightly off, they gave my kids rashes. I made the mistake of buying LED light bulbs from there, the brand name was reputable but who knows if what I actually got was the same brand or a copy, they started flickering and randomly going out within a year. I made the mistake of buying an…

Wow you did buy one of everything. So you definitely have the authority to say

> Everything on Amazon is shady knock-off garbage.

I have had the opposite experience. Everything I have bought over the past 20 years has been legit, except for one single thing.

Original is gone, maybe this should replace the submission link.

The seller's account is unaffected, including the full remainder of their scammy inventory in all its AI-nglish glory. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=FOPEAS

Seller account seems gone too now.

Where else you go for online shopping?

I will give you my list (East Coast USA): Walmart, Staples, Best Buy, Microcenter, Ace Hardware (there is usually a local one near you that is a Mom & Pop with the affiliation so they can do online orders and inventory management, etc), Walgreens, Lowes/Home Depot, Digikey, Ikea, eBay, or if you don't mind waiting you can just skip the middle man and go right to Ali Express. Also, it is always a good idea to check th…

Additionally, buying directly from the company used to be painful, who knows what's going on there? 20 years later, basic eCommerce is relatively well understood and someone that makes a product can easily have their own site that functions well.

Add a password manager and it's just a couple clicks, really no more work that amazon.

So for a huge amount of my stuff, I'll see if I can buy directly from the person/people that make it.

FWIW, I've noticed now that both Walmart and Target online stores have their own version of third-party sellers. I don't know if they do the same as Amazon (combining inventory in fulfillment centers) but just something to be aware of.

Easy fix since ChatGPT always apologises for not complying: any description or title containing the word "sorry" gets flagged for human oversight. Still orders of magnitude faster than writing all your own spam texts.

Why Amazon is not able to actually verify sellers real identities and terminate their accounts? I would imagine that they should be able to force them to supply verifiable national identification/bank account etc. How do these sellers get away with these?

Amazon does verify and also actively tries to blocks bad sellers. Details of this are easily found online.

The good thing with Amazon is their lax return policy. You have 1 month to test the product and if you don't like it, you return it to one of several available places (Wholefoods, Amazon locker, UPS, even leave it at the door for UPS to pick up, etc.)

No other store/website even comes close to this. BB gives you 2 weeks to try the product, and you'd have to drive all the way to their location to return the thing.

I keep purchasing from Amazon mainly because of the return policy, but I agree that there are cheaper options out there.
