Considering how hard it is to avoid dodgy counterfeit merchandise in certain product categories, that seems like an apt description.

    I’m not clear on how this solves the problem. Counterfeits can be hard to detect. Counterfeit food, toiletries, and electronics can poison you or start a fire. And my redress is a generous return policy?

      Amazon receives inventory directly from manufacturers. Third party sellers are significantly more likely to sell counterfeit products

      Same reason you’re not likely going to find counterfeit goods on the shelves of a Target or Costco

    I've still received counterfeits that were sold and shipped by amazon.

      Inventory commingling ruined any respect I had for them. They've done that for a long time but I still am beyond pissed by the trend they started of being a front for third party sellers, all French retailers copied them (darty, fnac, cdiscount etc) and searching for products sold by trustworthy entities on the internet is now a nightmare.

      Everyone imitates the market leader so it really feels as if competition doesn't exist as an alternative to amazon here. They're all as bad, and sometimes worse.
