rebeccmeisterWell, this is a fun follow-up article about it from The Atlantic:

When you think you should stop reading it, keep reading.
This past March, I ordered some tomato seeds from that big online crafting marketplace. It took me two months to realize that the seeds I'd ordered never showed up. I was super annoyed because they were for a variety of tomato I was really excited to grow. (And while I'm thinking about it, I'm going to order some from a place that HAS actually shipped seeds to me before!). The big online crafting marketplace did, at least, honor my request for a refund.
File this article away with other articles about the trash heap that is online shopping.
