I have only recently discovered ABE Used Booksellers and found them to be a bit cheaper than Amazon's used books, so in the past month I have placed several orders for used books from several different booksellers who sell via ABE Books. Well, each book I've received is not as I'd expected. I've found that the books "conditions" were exaggerated in the original seller posting - upon receiving the used book, I was very disappointed. Each book I received, in my opinion, was barely "acceptable condition", as opposed to being described by the seller as "good" or "very good". The final straw happened today when I received my copy of Light Between Oceans from Owls Booksellers in Toledo, MD. This book was listed by Owls Books on ABE Books as being "hardback in very good condition". What I received today is a PAPERBACK in only ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. I won't be placing anymore orders via ABE Books. ABE Books is not a dependable seller and part of the problem is that, unlike Amazon, ABE Books does not offer buyers the opportunity to give PUBLIC seller feedback. This is a big problem. If public seller feedback was allowed, book quality would probably ramp up and there would be better HONESTY among seller listings! I am recommending that people stick to AMAZON when purchasing used books online!

Whatever you purchase from RoseGal you will NOT receive it! Thankfully I only ordered one blouse for $12.98, so it's not the end of the world for me to loose this amount, although I am a senior on fixed income, so every penny counts. When I placed an order with RoseGal, there was NO indication I was ordering direct from China. Their "tracking information" is a joke. Don't buy it. I only have myself to blame and didn't heed that age-old advice... WHEN SOMETHING SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT USUALLY IS. Free Shipping and cheap clothing that looks great in the photo... again, thank heavens it was only a blouse for $12.98. Wanted to test the waters first... learned my lesson! Wish I'd read all these reviews before ordering from RoseGal. Like closing the barn door after the cows already got out. Save your money, save yourself from a headache.
