Online Shopping Has Become a Giant Fake Product Machine (bloomberg.com)

Used to be, you could look for something on Amazon and simply buy with confidence. Now, I've been burned too many times - so much so, that I prefer going to the source online retailers and buying from them. The amount of fake and shoddy products being sold on Amazon is skyrocketing. You'd think they'd care, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can't be the only one noticing this! :)


Indeed, I don't understand how Amazon can claim they are fighting this, when they could just ban all resellers



Why does Amazon even allow random resellers/distributors? Are there retailers that only resell original manufacturers?
