Amazon is loaded with questionable shit, with little enforcement from what a buyer's standpoint. Besides the counterfeit stuff, there are reviews of items which are clearly dangerous with accompanied photos. The roll over to paid listings is only going to make it worse as the sellers find more loopholes so they can earn even more to cover their cost-of-sale. Generally a big fan of Amazon but in the past two years I've increasingly spent more times on other ecommerce sites who police their inventory. Hell, try finding something as basic as Egyptian cotton sheets on Amazon now.

Amazon certianly has the power to better enforce what people are selling on their platform and they choose not to. I don't know if it's their business model or they are just dysfunctional. There's been a whole bunch of articles over the past few years about Amazon listing for illegal products. Even if you buy sold and shipped by Amazon you aren't guaranteed to not get a counterfeit because third party sellers are allowed to comingle their products with all other sellers (including Amazon's)
