Buyer beware, you're in for a scare!

When purchasing clothing or other products online, it's helpful to see other people's reviews of a seller before clicking "add to cart." Sometimes you'll scroll into the review section to discover a flurry of low ratings. Maybe the seller takes months to ship the package, or when the package arrives, the sweater someone bought has a funky smell or has random holes in it. You might think twice about purchasing that cute shirt from a seller if all of the reviews are begging you to spend your money elsewhere. There are plenty of sellers online, so there's truly no need to buy a dog-eaten, falsely advertised, cut-up scarf. Check out all the drama below! 

After that, read about the mom of 6 who asked her 23-year-old daughter for money for designer clothes and fast food: "Mum wants a $1k a month allowance."

    No fringe, just a tiny scrap of fabric that couldn't really be used as a scarf.

    Here's the note that came with it too!

    Scaff Chewing Hey bro, thank you for buying my • Unfortunately my dog ended up on both ends of the scarf. I Trimed each side of tege Scaff It was 25 Scaff I got from nemains though Hope its all good and this Wool Scarf Keels you nice N warm. again I apprecte your purchase it helps me out a ton. Once Blessings, Joe"

    This person is trying to claim that a $250 scarf is still worth the money even after it's being sold second-hand and has been well-nibbled by a dog. 

    I get that people need to sell things to get them out of tough financial troubles at times, but Joe, this is false advertising! Maybe look around in your closet and find something your dog hasn't used as a chew toy and sell that instead.

    The buyer, understandably, felt the need to pen a bad review

    UPDATE: I received a damaged, cut up scarf. I left a bad review, and this was the seller's response Seller's response, then my review. I left a review cause people thought I was being too nice

    It's just not what they ordered!

    Someone else claimed that Joe was using their account...not that it changes the scarf circumstances very much

    So, the buyer decided to hit back once again

    by Ron Feb 18, 2025 "The seller is immature, sent me the item (Coach Scarf) damaged with a note that said "sorry my dog ate the ends" and then tried to have me keep it. Obviously, got a return from Depop. It seems as though the seller is not the actual seller and has someone selling for him. He claimed that "it wasn't me it was Joe""

    Now other buyers can beware!

    Commenters found the situation surprising and petty all around

    Basso_69 Reads like a response from a 17yo mean girl who's selling on behalf of their "bf" who is excellent at appropriating stock from unwitting people.

    starthing76 How can she "tailor clothes to fit perfectly" if they were selling a Coach scarf anyway?

    L... Tbh ur review was nice for the nonsense u had to deal with! I recently had my first unprofessional and seller experience on Depop. These fools will say anything to make it your fault when they are blatantly in the wrong; and then are shocked when they get a bad review! The audacity of some people
