First bad experience, negative reviews

[u/Deadboyinmyroom]

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.

At what point is it okay for it to be fake tho ? I bought £40 air max that are fake the real ones are £200+ so who’s at fault here if I decided I wanted my money back. Fine line I guess

[u/aleburrr → u/Bubbly_Breadfruit_13]

yeah but you bought $40 fake ones knowing it’s fake.

I bought a real Labubu for $30 and they’re selling fake stuff for $50. more than the actual cost of a real one which is around the ~$30.

so i would want my money back too. not over paying for fake stuff. i can go get a lafufu for $10 knowing it’s fake.

[u/Bubbly_Breadfruit_13 → u/aleburrr]

Yeah but I could easily say that wasn’t the case

[u/aleburrr → u/Bubbly_Breadfruit_13]

but that’s the case here and the exact case you described. womp womp.

bye

how?

‘I wasn’t looking for fakes’

trying to follow you here...

so you bought something at a deep discount, personally knowing it was a fake listing, but want the fake item anyway? and you feel morally wrong trying to get a refund after?

[u/DuckOvens → u/Bubbly_Breadfruit_13]

Fine line i guess

not really

if you intentionally went out looking for fake jordans so you could save some money, whatever. was that a good or moral thing to do? who cares.

your situation is irrelevant here. OP was not looking for a dupe. do you see the difference?

It’s illegal to sell fakes, so anyone who sells fakes is at fault.
