I have sent breakfast back, but not often. Once it was just the coffee which tasted boiled - ie reheated without care. "Terribly sorry, sir; you must have got the staff coffee." Poor staff.

Er no.
"Air B&B" could be the name of a single B&B, just the same as "Sunnyside B&B", or "Ardsley B&B"
There's no indication from what you quoted there, that Air B&B doesn't refer to a single establishment rather than a website.

Well it did not *look* greasy.
But it was. And the effects were delayed - even I felt queasy an hour later and I can practically eat a block of lard.

Nothing to stop you sending it back and getting something that isn't fried like toast etc instead.

True - Amazon at least have a search engine that admits "we are a store front" and lets you add various parametric search terms, which get very specific for certain types of goods.

Dunno about Ali but how can you say Amazon's search is beaten by ebay? Ebay has nowhere near the level of searching features Amazon has.

But is completely f***ed because you can't sort the results unless you specify a category and just ignores the keywords you include with quite a few of the hits and you can't specify whether to search just the title or the entire ad and doesn?t include the postal cost in the results most of the time either.
