Spent $80 on a banned book bundle and half the pages were missing

I paid $80 for a bundle of five banned books from a small online store that claimed to sell "uncensored editions." When they arrived, two of them were clearly photocopied and one was missing chapters 12 through 18 entirely. I reached out to the seller and they blamed it on a "printing error" but wouldn't give a refund. Has anyone else gotten burned buying banned books from random websites? I'm trying to find a legit source for challenged titles without breaking the bank.

What did the payment method say when you tried to dispute it?

Ugh, honestly that sucks so much. But tbh, "uncensored editions" from small random sites is a red flag, most legit banned book sellers just sell the actual published versions for like $15 each.
