> What items are people buying that are so frequently counterfeit?

This is exactly my question too.

> I've probably spent an average of $50+/week on Amazon for the past several years and have never once received a counterfeit item.

I’ve been averaging >$2k/month for about ten years (combined personal and business purchases) and have never had a counterfeit product, even in categories that others claim have rampant counterfeits.




It’s a bit scattered, but I’ve seen lots of small consumer electronics (headphones, chargers etc) that are clearly counterfeits.

For example this charger is almost certainly fake: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FZ9XP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rEcN...
