Could SellerA withdraw his iPad from stock, effectively trading a fake iPad for a real one?
Let's say there was a SellerB with a real iPad for sale, located closer to the buyer. Could Amazon swap ownership in that case? Would SellerB be liable for fraud and damaged reputation if his real iPad was switched with a fake?
- ikeboy 10y agoThey'll still be liable, as the buyer will report it and Amazon will track it back to Seller A.
- saosebastiao 10y agoMaybe they're better at tracking now, but at least while I was there tracking them down was a massive problem.
- ikeboy 10y agoYou worked for Amazon, or you were a seller? My info comes from https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200243180 https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=..., which says commingled stuff is tracked by seller under "How Amazon Tracks Stickerless, Commingled Inventory".
- Zuider 10y agoWhile Amazon does clearly state under the heading you gave that they do track commingled inventory, they do not explain how. It is still possible that doing so presents a 'massive problem' as the previous comment, apparently from an ex-Amazon employee states. On the face of it, I cannot see how it would present a problem, except for the obvious one of scale. It would be interesting to learn the precise details of how Amazon implements its tracking policy.
