I don't think this is true anymore. I'm sure most items in Amazon's inventory are commingled with third-party sellers using FBA. I'm sure this is helps Amazon with logistics, but it also makes it difficult to catch counterfeit goods.

That sounds like a horrendous idea. How could amazon possibly think it made sense to do that?

    I hope they include the loss of trust from the customers to whom this happens in this cost of fraud.
