I just had this very experience!
I ordered a body pillow cover with a pretty ocean/nautical design on it. It was not blurry in the picture, but it is on the product that I received.

When I went back to check on the item and how it was pictured on Amazon it had been taken down.

The company - Cukudy - was listed as having 100% positive reviews. Yeah, right - odds are they wrote those. And now they will change their company name again
I'm sure.

So, I go to return this strange item (it's blurry) and they have me send them endless pictures of the item and then they claim that this is the item that I ordered.
I just filed an ABC claim with Amazon - but they should not be selling this crap on their website. It shouldn't take several days of back and forth with some crazy
counterfeit seller to learn that they won't accept the item back.

Yes, the item came straight from China. I wonder whose cute artwork they stole and plastered onto a pillow. I will post pictures of the whole thing later if I can get
that to work.

And thanks for the link now I know where to get the real product at least. Geez....

Here is the print from the actual artist on Zazzle

There's this 800 thread count sheets I love. I initially bought at overstock. They were discontinued years later when I tried to rebuy but I found one on Amazon. When I got them I immediately knew they were a flimsy fake and demanded a return. I was so pissed off I was going to leave a bad review. The seller begged me not to do so and promptly refunded the money.

I bought this pricey cosmetic (eye cream). It shipped from Hong Kong. I wonder if it was fake. It's hard to tell effectiveness for eye cream.

The problem is far worse on Ebay.
