That would explain some of the stupid things that are going on at Amazon right now - e.g. they are now witch-hunting new sellers to prove they aren't selling counterfeits by disabling their accounts right after they list their first items literally seconds after they do it and then demand all kinds of proof. I was shown an email where Amazon stated: "you might be selling counterfeits" without company selling a single item as a fresh new account (and having reputable suppliers that don't risk supplying counterfeits). To me it seems like ML + MBA fail (ML for identifying risks with too many false positives, MBA for setting up such an insane policy since June)
- exhilaration 9y agoWow, this is amazing news! Amazon is actually doing something about counterfeits?
- bitL 9y agoYeah, like ignoring those Chinese companies that spawn up quickly, dump 100,000 items on the marketplace, then disappear; and instead chase naive new sellers that didn't expect to climb algorithmic wall when they paid for "seller privileges"?
