i recently realize that if you pay via carousellpay, they charge you a buyer protection fee that is percentage based i think
no wonder people kept messaging me to reduce the price by a weird amount
i guess alot of people (including myself) didnt want to go through carousellpay due to the absurd buyer protection fee (why cant they just be an escrow instead of CHARGING to be an escrow to protect buyers?)
Maybe moving forward need to start considering if its worth it to pay the extra 'protection fees' from carousell

btw did you entertaint to ship back the box and see if the seller refund you or you str8 report him?
