If the seller is based in china or the product is not fulfilled by Amazon let the buyer beware he may have to wait/fight for his money back, and the likelihood of it shipping is slim to none.

Chatting also works great for getting compensation.

Just chatted. Mentioned that this is the second order cancelled within the last week and I got a $30 code last time. So...got another $30. Took 5 minutes ;)

I got a credit of $20. Actually took some time, several chats, phone and waiting on hold.  Not sure it was worth it, but I guess it's free money.

Returns ain't the same as compensation.

I got a pair of Bose QC 15 for $1 and paid $4 shipping.
They work great!
The guy was from Cali and claimed they were only in acceptable condition. I don't know if it was a mistake, but they could have sold for $130 easily.

I don't think so. I have owned a pair in the past and they seem identical.
Even if they are, for a buck its worth it!
The outside is nice and scuffed but sound is great and he replaced the ear pads.
It was only a single pair.

How much was it selling for?
$220 pretty funny Amazon itself went down to like $550 to price match but they are back up now.

This store just launched and has tons of mistakes.

For example

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWY1JS/?tag=cl03f-20
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A6HM9G/?tag=cl03f-20

These will never be honored, but you can hope for credit.

Post what products you are buying :)

I'm curious to how you came across those, we're you actually looking for those products or what?

I do not think this is something to be proud about.

If you need the $5 let me know, I'd be more than happy to give.

I find it very low for someone to order, knowing that their order will not be shipped (- as that's how it is for all 3rd party sellers) just for the compensation credit from Amazon (at the expense of damaging the sellers reputation).
