Yeah, I got burned on some hard drives in like 2018 and won't use them again. They took no action when I reported the issue with the seller. Thankfully I have a microcenter close enough that I can source most of what I need there.
My local retail supplier has seen revenues double in the last 4 years. But, they are under constant threat of scam by buyers.
It's not just sellers, buyers return swapped items all the time.
So check the items before accepting the return? Sellers are responsible for what they sell.
