My Red Flag Experience with a Platform That Favors Sellers
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently had a concerning experience with a platform that seems to put sellers' interests ahead of buyers'. My attempts to subscribe to a streaming service were met with misleading product descriptions, slow customer support, and a seller who tried to silence me after I left a negative review. The platform's customer support downplayed the issue, saying it's normal for sellers to take back products with negative reviews. Needless to say, I'm now hesitant to use this service for paying subscriptions, and I'd advise others to exercise caution.
