We don't use e-commerce websites to smear, but we have poor experience with the items we ordered. For me, when I started it, this was a defective action camera, but after some minutes it didn't work. I was forwarded to the seller when I accessed the site, but he did not answer my messages. A warts remover had been requested by my wife. The bottle arrived with no source marks so how can you complain when there is no place or address about a counterfeit product?
