The amount of all natural and sustainable bathingsuit brands is growing on the market!

I've been seeing a massive influx in this sub and experienced:
- Refund policy ruined (denying refunds damaged items)
- Return Scams (Amazon claiming they do returns then denying returns of unopened items + denying refunds when the item you returned for being damaged is damaged...)
- Bad updates, not giving delivery or route information.
- Delays on over night, two day, ECT, even if you paid extra to rush it...
So... What happened? I've been a prime member for five years and have almost never had issues and theres a noticable increase in issues in the sub.
Usually there's some policy change, management shift, sponsorship/support pull out, ECT documented that causes these problems. Does anybody have the scoop?
I got a two day delivery for an item I need for work tomorrow. I go in at 11:30 AM and I have another item also for work coming at 7-11 AM so I'm hoping it'll show up with that...
Insane how it never came and they didn't put it down as delayed or anything... Really frustrating.
Edit: So much for 2 day... It'll now be here tomorrow 🙄

I've been a prime member for about 5 years now.
I've done several returns, gotten a few refunds for things that came severely out of sorts, and I've never had an issue with associates except for two times.
One when they claimed they issued me a refund and then five different associates played duck duck goose with me over the thirty days claiming they issued it. Then my 30 days expired and they told me I was ineligible for refund. Ever since I politely demand email proof of the conversation.
However, chat support has been getting harder and harder to find in settings.
This, however, was NEW for me.
I'm an herbalist and have an apothecary. I've bought and returned various tinctures + essential oils with no issue (changes in recipes = no longer needing some of the options)
I've always thought; Well better safe than sorry and if I don't need it I can return it.
I just tried this again with a root tincture. When I purchased, it said eligible for return.
It's been about four days, I was busy, and finally went to start my return. It's unopened, and yet when I selected 'unopened ➡️ no longer needed' I was met with a page saying it was ineligible for return.
I went to support. Once I bought an item that wasn't available to return because it came rotten and they issued me a refund on the sellers behalf. While I'd never had a returnable item become ineligible for return, I figured this would go the same way. It was only $14. I wasn't expecting any trouble.
The bot was immediately different. It wasn't listening to me or even attempting communication or comprehension like it used to. It would BAR ME from speaking by removing the text box? With no buttons to click? And would tell me to 'go back to support center' and my second go it tried to force me to upload photos of damage even though I explicitly said it wasn't damaged. And REMEMBERED that when I restarted a new chat. It literally went "I see we have requested photos from you. Please upload them to proceed." And barred me from speaking. I've NEVER had it do that to me.
So I requested to speak with an associate.
The associate 'claimed she needed a specialist'... They've never needed a specialist to give me refunds or fixed return store info before. The specialist lied to my face and said very coldly "This item is ineligible for refund." "It is ineligible." Despite me telling him repeatedly it's not right to claim something can be returned and then refuse when it's unopened and undamaged which is the best case scenario for returns. He said it couldn't be returned BECAUSE it's not damaged??
Usually by now they would have offered a refund. It was $14 so I was expecting it. But he hadn't offered so I asked. He said four times issuing refunds were 'outside his capabilities' in a dry curt tone in short sentences even after I told him I'd recieved refunds from 'non specialists' before.
He dismissed me and outright said he could not help me in any way shape or form which I've NEVER had support do before.
Needless to say that's the first time I've been rude to an associate by abruptly saying the company is going down hill, leaving chat, and also the first time I've ever given a one star review let alone in every box.
I guess I didn't really lose much money, it's only $14, and I get to keep the backup bottle, but god that left a bad taste in my mouth and now I'm wary about continuing to use the platform. I wonder if they have me flagged for doing to many returns or something, or if everyone got this 'update.'
EDIT: I contacted ebay and the guy on the phone looked and agreed with me, and he said my refund is being issued and will be in my account in 1-3 days.
Firstly: This is a HUGE second hand company who makes a profit buying books from people for like $1-2 then reselling them for $10-40. This book is hard to find so I had limited options and it needed to be ebay so I could put it on a payment plan (struggling college student.)
I'm in school for art and design and a show was a huge inspiration for me so I wanted the art book to study the clothing design process.
All other of the six or so listings were $11 or so.
This one was $25 ($30 after shipping and tax)
On their official website, it said hardcover, shipping was free, but no payment plan. Staff told me they DID have an ebay page, sent me a link, and I searched it up. They only had one copy, it was the same price, and when I checked 'Description' it said hardcover. So I bought it.
Then I saw backing out of search that suspiciously, nobody else, even Amazon, had a hardcover version. I went back to the listing immediately to double check, and in the description it said hardcover but when I clicked on product details underneath description and scrolled down, it said paperback.
I was appalled and realized I spent $20 extra dollars for a book that wasn't even in the best condition and cancelled. All in less than 3 minutes.
The seller immediately rejected and said they 'shipped it already.' 😐🤨
I told them this was fraudulent and apalling and that I'd open an INAD claim. Do I have grounds here?
I don't want my account getting banned if I pursue an INAD but this does feel like an INAD case because it was so misleading. I need every cent I can pinch, I can't stomach the idea of paying that extra money for nothing.
