What are your thoughts on the AI generated item descriptions?

As a buyer (and sometimes seller) I find the AI generated descriptions either irritating or at least unhelpful. Seems like most of those descriptions treat me like a buyer who can't think for themselves or don't really know what they want or like. Al...

Sold high value item, buyer returns on the last day. What's his angle?

I sold a high dollar bank note, graded, which was delivered a month ago today. Why not initiate the return the day after, or even the week after delivery? I know it's permissible, but what's the buyer's angle in opening the claim on the last possible...

Refund request for “damaged item”
