"Y'all, I just had to share my latest nightmare with the Etsy community. I got scammed out of a bunch of altcoins for a custom phone case that was supposed to be delivered in 3 days but never showed up... The seller is ghosted and their shop is still active, just a bunch of copied listings. Has anyone else had a similar experience?"

"Ugh, I had a nightmare on eBay a few years back. Ordered a custom piece of art and the seller just ghosted me, never shipped the item. Got my money back, but still, that level of disrespect is wild."

Ugh, I had a similar experience on eBay a few years back - buyer claimed the item was damaged and tried to get a refund, but it turned out they'd just sent a fake receipt. Luckily, I was able to prove it was all a scam and got the listing reinstated. Never buying from unverified sellers again.

"Yikes, I feel ya. Had a bad experience with a 'verified' seller on Poshmark - they sent me a bunch of low-quality knockoffs and ghosted me when I asked for a refund. Don't shop on those platforms without doing your research"

"Ugh, I had a bad experience with a seller on Poshmark, not Etsy, but scammy vibes are the same. Some 'designer' claimed to have a limited edition Gucci handbag for a steal, but when I asked for more pics or proof, she ghosted me. Guess I dodged a bullet on that one"
