I need a sanity check because I genuinely don’t know if I’m being dramatic or if this is as outrageous as it feels.

I have attached my interaction with the seller as well.. I was being a bit of a Karen and my spelling is far from eloquent because I was probably more angry than what was necessary.

I recently ordered Lily’s Cookies & Crème white chocolate bar on Amazon. The listing showed:

\- “Number of pieces: 12”

\- Weight: 2.8 oz

\- Item package quantity: 1

The total came to $54 CAD.

Now yes, I’ll fully acknowledge that the listing did technically say “Item package quantity: 1.” I’m not pretending that wasn’t there.

But when I see:

\- “12 pieces”

\- A $54 price tag

\- A product that normally retails around $8–$10 USD

My brain assumed this was a 12-pack. Or at the very least more than one singular chocolate bar. 

Can you blame me?

Who truly expects a single 79g chocolate bar to cost fifty-four Canadian dollars?

When it arrived, it was literally one small, standard 2.8 oz bar.

I messaged the seller explaining that I believed the listing was misleading given the price and the “12 pieces” wording.

Their response:

\- Food items are non-returnable and non-refundable.

\- The listing clearly states 1 bar.

\- International shipping, customs, marketplace fees, etc. justify the price.

\- As a “goodwill gesture,” they offered me an $8 CAD partial refund.

Eight dollars.

On a $54 chocolate bar.

I understand international shipping costs money. I understand marketplace fees exist. I understand sellers can price items however they want.

But even factoring in international shipping, duties, and logistics, however this is a 79g chocolate bar. It weighs almost nothing. It was shipped in a tiny padded mailer.

$54.

And again I fully accept that I may have read “12 pieces” as “12 bars.” That is on me.

But when the pricing is that extreme, and the listing says “12 pieces,” it doesn’t feel like a crazy assumption.

It feels like a listing that’s technically defensible but practically misleading.

I escalated to Amazon because I don’t think an $8 partial refund is reasonable.

So I’m asking genuinely:

Am I overreacting for expecting either a full refund or significantly clearer transparency at that price point?

Because right now I feel like I just paid luxury pricing for a grocery store chocolate bar.

And I cannot wrap my head around it.

AIO for requesting a refund from Amazon for a singular chocolate bar that was 54$ CAD?
