Rolling coal is the practice of tampering with a vehicle’s emissions control system, causing it to spew black clouds of sooty exhaust.

    A seller shipped me a phone that was much worse than what I bought, and it wasn’t even the same brand. I returned it. However, the seller wouldn’t ship the right phone but still had the listing saying several were available. I couldn’t leave a negative review, which makes no sense, and I reported it to ebay, but as of yet nothing has happened to the seller that I can tell.

    It’s really disappointing. I want an Amazon alternative, but it’s tough if I’m going to have to go through this crap.

        I use Swappa.com for all my used electronics. Been buying and selling randomly from them for years. They are starting to get big enough to have sellers that refurb stuff which kinda sucks. When they were smaller and only had normal people selling their extra/old equipment was much better.

            Is this sarcasm? Half of the shit I get on aliexpress isn’t available anywhere else. Or if it is, it costs an order of magnitude more when buying from US reseller, who is just marking up inventory they bought from aliexpress.

      We might just have to do without an alternative. I haven’t ordered off of Amazon probably 5+ years now, and it’s fine.
