I order from Etsy over a month ago and never received the item which I paid for. Is there any way to report this so others won't be taken?

what are the spam rules?
Why won't AOL tell it's members what constitutes spam? I suddenly got locked out after sending a bunch of e-mails to groups of cousins. I called for help, was forced to sign up for tech support and was told by two AOL employees they are now allowed to tell me how many e-mails sent in what amount of time qualifies as spam nor would they tell me how long after being locked out would my account be reopened.
I had been previously told that after AOL took over from Verizon that I was no longer limited to 100 people per…In order to better enforce anti-spam policies, AOL does not disclose the number of recipients or emails that can be sent at one time.
If you’ve received a notification that a limit has been met, you’ll need to wait a set amount of time before you can send more emails. Most sending limit notifications inform you of how long you’ll have to wait.
If you’re planning to regularly send bulk email, consider looking into alternate solution.

Massive spam I cannot BLOCK
I have SETTINGS on getting email ONLY CONTACTS yet every day I get 100 + emails from a site(s) that has infinite disposable none repetitive FROM addresses. I detest those FILTERS which DO NOT FILTER. PLEASE MAKE THE ACTUAL FROM CONTACTS ONLY DO EXACTLY THAT.
If you’ve started to receive an endless flow of junk email, you may be the victim of spam bombing. This is a tactic used by bad actors and hackers to distract you from seeing emails that really are important to you. This can also be an indication that another login account has been compromised.

Way more spam now - why?
Up until about one week ago I got almost no real spam. I frequently found things I wanted to see in the spam folder, which was moderately annoying. Now I'm getting several actual garbage spam messages a day. You flag most of them, but they never got through at all in the past. What did you change? Please change it back.

To protect your account, most suspected spam messages are automatically filtered, but if you’re still getting overwhelmed with unwanted messages, there are additional options you can customize to protect your privacy.

Unsubscribing from spam mail.
No longer able to "unsubscribe" from spam in the spam folder. Have to mark as "not spam" so it goes into regular mail and "unsubscribe" from there and 1/2 the time that doesn't work. Then I have to mark again as "spam" Please fix.
Hi there,
That’s correct, you never want to unsubscribe from spam when it is already in the spam folder. This can tend to confuse our internal filters and result in legitimate emails going into spam or spam emails going into the inbox.
This action can only be performed in the inbox. If email are going into spam and are spam I would suggest leaving them there to eventually be deleted.

Improve AOL mail by adding a column to the inbox allowing users to block all future mail from the sender's domain IN ONE CLICK
This new column would be a single character wide - very similar to the Flag column or the Trash column:
With a single click, an AOL program can create a line item in the user's Sender Filter (block-mail list). That line item would include the sender's top- and second-level domain (e.g., @spammer.com - with an asterisk before and after the '@'). Users can do this now for themselves under Spam Settings. But AOL can easily automate this tedious work for their billions of users.
Also, this approach would make the new line item accessible to users (in their Spam…

Improvement to SPAM Folder
When I first go into my AOL email, and find a SPAM entry, I put a check in front of it, and click the SPAM button at the top of the email window. A window pops up, and asks me if I want to unscubscribe from this email? I click Yes, but it does not go to my SPAM folder until I click on the SPAM button at the top of the email window, and say No to the same question. The email moves to my SPAM folder. If I find another SPAM, I put the check mark in front…
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out. If mail is going into the spam folder automatically it is an indication that the spam filters are working. We do recommend that mail in the spam folder is not accessed unless you know for sure it is a legitimate contact. By accessing mail in spam you run the risk of confusing our internal filters or worse compromising your account.
The unsubscribe option is only for mail you willing subscribed to such as a newsletter. You never want to unsubscribe from spam mail as it too may confuse our internal settings.
For any further questions or concerns please feel free to reach out at https://help.aol.com/.

Don't give ADMIN'S access to personal information! One put out spam info on me and my family, including a child. Just threw it out on there!
One of your admin's sent out probably 5 or 6 spams on my family requesting they join these groups with each of my family members as a head of it. One even a child. WTH?? That is misuse of my personal data if I ever saw it. If you are out of CA, this could turn out very poorly for you if you continue to do such things. There are laws against this. I'll be in touch with my AG if I don't get a written response. I'm tired of this woman's harassment. Lose her or lose the large group…

MOVE SPAM
I wish I could off the SPAM filter. But, until that is possible how can I move a SPAM message into my IN BOX? Currently, checking the box to the left of the header and then clicking "MOVE TO IN BOX" sends the message to who knows where but it is not in the IN BOX. Currently, checking the box to the left of the header and then clicking "NOT SPAM" sends the message to who knows where but it is not in the IN BOX.
Thank you for your feedback. We are unable to replicate the situation you’re reporting. Please send a screenshot and further details to AOLmailquestions@aol.com and one of the technicians will get back to you.

Do you call people on the phone? I was told somebody was using my email address.
today, got a phone call from you informing me that somebody was using my email address. Does your company call people? The man had my complete email address. He wanted me to go to my computer and I said no that I use a computer at the library. So what is the deal? Was this a real call from you?
The phone call that you received is not from AOL. We do not practically call members about compromised accounts. Find more info about what vishing means here:https://help.aol.com/articles/protect-yourself-from-internet-scams
