As of this article, the group has 50,000 members who collectively deliver weirdness on the daily.Places likeWishandCraigslisthave embraced their reputation of being and attracting all shades of weird, but you wouldn’t likely expect Amazon to be in the same boat. Minus all the books you can find there.

Now, sure, Amazon has a pretty good policy and system going to keep scammers, bootleggers and other shenanigan lovers away from people who just want to get a back scratcher and a book on why swearing is unacceptable, but remember that products came in varying shades of gray and it is sometimes hard to determine what goes and what doesn’t.
The officialAmazon store policyhas a detailed list of products that are off limits. This includes things like weapons, medicine, get rich quick products and the like all have clear limitations and categories, Garfield toys that have seen better days and handbags with Princess Diana on them fall into a category of where to draw the line and how to enforce it in general?
Then there’s the rest of the subreddit that features things other than products.
One person once ordered just one hoodie for their one (I’ll stop) kid, but some force of nature turned that into them receiving 62 hoodies. Clearly an error on Amazon’s part.
Then there’s all the times people ordered one thing and got another—namely how a person ordered corn oil but received peanut oil and hence left a bad review. Well, Amazon prompted for hiding the review from the public instead of making things right.But it gets crazier: one person broke a finger and ordered a split. Instead, they got sent a kilogram of oats. No, they weren’t really packaged, just loose in a box.

We won’t even get started with all of the times pictures depict questionable things, like skulls on a patio fire pit, or those long descriptions that manage to use every relevant keyword possible just to make a sale.But none of this should be surprising considering a slew of problems that plague Amazon. Whether related or not.

they absolutely refuse to refund me, after sending me a note 9, instead of the S22 Ultra I ordered…. Filed police report, contacted the Attorney General and submitted a fraud to the FTC. O and disputed the charge… anything else I can do??
Storeshave to go through a lotjust to make a sale considering the strict payout policies, extremely high level of competition, high Amazon fees and packaging restrictions, just to name a few.And, on a more grandiose scale, the company itselfhas been criticizedfor its anti-competitive practices, treatment of workers and customers alike, environmental impact and a slew of other things.
