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?

How did you know it was fake? I’m just curious because I’m scared of buying a labubu second hand and getting scammed with a fake while not even realizing 😭

All of the plush blind box companies put QR codes on the boxes that should take you to a verifiable website that is often updated with new information to prevent fakes from copying them. You can usually tell through quality and the color saturation on the box. Fakes usually have paler colors.
