Dirty diaper resold on Amazon ruined a family business, report says
arstechnica.com
Summary:
Amazon's returns process is a complete dumpster fire - they'll slap a "new" sticker on your used crap and put it right back up for sale. Case in point: a small biz got screwed when Amazon resold their poopy swim diaper as brand new, tanking their company. Thankfully, Amazon took immediate action (JK). At least sellers now at least have the option to opt-out of returns being sold as new.
::: spoiler One comment from the article:

The fact that any returned diaper is resold is fucked. "Amazon should have inspected it" isn't good enough and whoever is in charge of the policy for returns of a diaper to ever be resold can screw off.
If it's Amazon, and Amazon is responsible for that diaper being shipped back out, that review should definitely be removed.
But regardless, "we were just about to triple our sales" is best case complete nonsense, and worst case nonsense stacked with scalping essential goods during a pandemic.
To be fair, if the package is still unopened then a return can totally be resold.
I can only imagine the smell as some overworked, underpaid Amazon warehouse person stuffs that diaper in.
βNot the worst smell, so whateverβ
Maybe the poop stains were from an Amazon warehouse employee who wasn't allowed to leave the line π€·π»ββοΈ
Even this headline makes it sound like the family's fault lmao.
Yeah the article takes its time making it clear who is at fault as well
Yo what the fuck man ?

Could have just ended the sentence there and it would still work both figuratively and literally. π€£
Cursed headline
