Items are being described incorrectly more and more often. Since selling has been free, a lot of junk is circulating, getting relisted again and again and ruining the fun of browsing. Once again I bought shoes “made of buttery-soft leather” that turned out to be cheap plastic - even though the seller had explicitly confirmed to me that it was leather. And if the return does work, I'm still asked to leave a good rating.And the reviews are getting more and more enthusiastic: “The item was junk, but super nice communication, top eBayer.” Brave new world.Do you just accept that? Do people actually want to be fooled like on Chinese bargain platforms, where people apparently accept false descriptions because it’s so cheap?Unfortunately, that makes eBay less and less enjoyable.
