Deceptive, unreliable merchants
Many users have complained about information inconsistencies, shipping problems, and wrongful refusal of refunds. The percentage of orders that are actually fulfilled is estimated to be about 20%. While this isn't always the fault of AbeBooks.com, it might just be a lack of proper oversight.
