Counterfeiting is a huge problem across Amazon. Since they started commingling inventory, it's been used by bad actors to launder counterfeit goods. It's even worse for the Fulfilled by Amazon people-- there have been DVD resellers selling >$40k/mo legitimately getting banned because pirated items are being shipped to fulfill the same listings. I've chosen to buy from smaller sites to be more assured of quality-- especially for commonly faked items like batteries and replacement parts.

It definitely sucks, I never used to have to doubt the quality of amazon products, now I'm having to make sure I only buy amazon basics products or run reviews through some fake review spotter to try and make sure I'm not buying a lie.

The story that usually gets thrown around is very misleading. The guy was buying back DVDs from random people online, no vetting, of course counterfeits got in. Amazon said the problematic items weren't commingled. I know plenty of 7 figure sellers who only do commingle with no issues.
