Graham Sutherland / PolynomialI have no problem with the quality of the Joyfly chair I bought for my wife a few months back, but this is a *really* sketchy practice.
also fairly sure it's against Amazon's seller TOS.
reported it to customer support, they're gonna handle it.
Frank Barton@gsuberland now I'm curious what they're going to do... let's be honest... kick them off the platform... with that account at least
@fbarton my experience of it is that they get a slap on the wrist for the first few violations, and only get the banhammer or other sanctions (like not having products recommended) after repeated violations.
@gsuberland and then they sign back up as "[email protected]" instead of joyflygaming...
@fbarton this is a pretty huge company so they're definitely not gonna just pull a switcheroo.
@gsuberland fair enough, I just have a hard time with any seller that then uses an @gmail.com address
@fbarton that's probably to keep this dodgy practice separate from their actual business email.
@gsuberland now... lets give them the benefit of the doubt for just a moment... was it actually joyfly? or a look-alike/reseller?
@fbarton oh yeah no it's definitely Joyfly that I bought it from. it was during one of the sales they advertised all over the place.
Nihl L'Amas@fbarton @gsuberland It's utterly rampant and Amazon does, effectively, nothing. At least not enough to keep up with the new seller accounts which keep doing it.
abadidea@gsuberland yeah, they “randomly choose” everyone, but please don’t say anything! 🤫
Pxl Phile@0xabad1dea @gsuberland yeah my thoughts exactly. I am still bamboozled how sketchy this all sounds.
