Amazon is not a good company. I don't know why more people aren't talking about it.
They treat their 3rd-party sellers like garbage. They make up a large percentage of their yearly income and don't even offer any kind of support beyond automated responses. Amazon also doesn't keep the same standard of service as their sellers.
They have bots that will auto-ban your account with no recourse.
If a customer complains, they get their money back in 99% of the cases (even if it's > 1 year later) without ever having to return the item (I got scammed by many customers this way). Amazon also has no way of banning a customer, so they can keep doing it, leaving you negative feedback, and their bots will auto-ban you (good luck getting it un-banned after this happens). So you end up losing all of the money and the item you sold.
If I buy an ipad and complain, Amazon (If I'm buying from Amazon.com..and not a 3rd party seller) will make me return it before I get a refund.
I was a seller for many years and finally called it quits. They know they can get away with it because they are biggest site on the Internet (besides Ebay).
Ebay has its problems, but at least you are treated with respect as a seller. After moving everything to Ebay, all of my problems went away.

- delinka 14y agoThe implication was that if a third party sells an iPad via Amazon, the customer can complain, get an immediate refund, and the customer is never forced to return the iPad to the seller.
