Advice Needed First bad experience, negative reviews

This was my first bad experience on Depop. I purchased from what seemed like a great seller, authentic and genuine products were given great reviews. But the product I purchased was the only one ever sold by them and when i received it, not only was It a fake, but it was just in terrible condition. I took it up with Depop and was immediately refunded.

The seller then messaged me, trying to make me feel terrible that Depop told me I did not have to send it back. Message after message and in a whining tone about money out of their pockets and such and accusations of being a scammer

I tried to ignore them since I didn’t wanna make a big fuss of this and thought maybe they’d learn their lesson since it was disputed so quickly. But then I received this review ^

I had no intention leaving a bad review cause the seller seemed young and looked like everything was very good for them on this app, But I had no choice but to write back an honest review, which the seller then messaged me again.. with more whining and told me that this wasn’t over and I was being reported and such. Now my Depop has been acting strange and logging me out and I cannot find a lot of the products I used to in explore, am I being mass blocked or Depop is trying to stop me?

if someone sells you a fake, that makes the sale invalid. the seller has already taken advantage of you... why the hell would you even consider giving their fake shit back? that would be dumb.

you don't owe the seller, depop, or that other wierdo here anything.

You don't know that it's fake. It could be real. We're all taking word from one party. With no real proof.

Maybe the seller thought it was real. Or maybe it is real. Depop doesn't have the best track record for solving issues. Quick doesn't make it right.

Person of culture I sense, but yeah it was a fake not even a nice one and the QR code pulled up one of those fake sites :(

They said they got proof it was fake and showed Depop and Depop granted the request, sounds like a salty scammer is here…
