I guess I believe it's possible, but I've ordered hundreds of books off Amazon for going on 25 years now, and I've never not gotten books in the condition I paid for. It feels like it would be a weird and ineffective scam for them to pull, not exactly lucrative and pretty easy to get caught on. As I say, possible, but weird if true.
Based on the author's comment, I'm guessing these are print-on-demand books that were damaged during or right after the printing process, so if you are ordering non print-on-demand books your experience might not be as relevant

These appear to be books printed by Amazon directly, so not all book sales would be affected.
I just ordered books from Amazon for the first time and one of the new books had a tear.
