That was the only course I found enjoyable. We discussed various cases in which we applied basic principles of law to analyse facts of the case in order to reach a conclusion.
To sue them, I would have to have their address, which I don't. I think I would have sue them in the state where they have their offices. I got what I wanted without having to go to a court. I did spend sometime, but a claim in a small claims court would have consumed time too.
Since, the credit card was charged by Amazon.com, Amzon would be charged back. Amazon supervisor told me that if I charge back, it could affect my ability to make purchases from Amazon.com. He might have been bluffing.
I think, Amazon played a dubious role in it. AAmazon claims that they can't be held responsible for third part sellers. If Amazon is not involved, chargeback, why should Amazon penalise me for a situation that was n ot of my making?
I did not appoint them as my buying agent. Since, they are collecting money for the seller, and allowing the seller to advertise on their site, they are seller's agent. If Amazon advertised the wrong item, luggagepoint should recover their damages from Amazon.
If Amazon can't back sales on their marketplace with some money-back guarantee like eBay/paypal, what good are they? I know they have lower fees and such, but that's like the wild west. Every man for himself.
