I suspect many buyers in the United States are not skilled at determining counterfeits. Sometimes this is obvious, but other times the symptoms are masked as something else.
When an electronic item is defective, when an item you buy reoccurringly degrades in quality over multiple purchases, or when something stops working before it should those are all warning signs of a counterfeit.
I highly suspect 0.5% of my Amazon packages have been counterfeit. I've had hundreds of orders over the last 3 years.

Yeah, those things all happen to genuine products, too. It doesn't tell you much.
- dahdum 8y agoThe problem is growing, so past purchases arenot really indicative of the current experience. I’m now getting fakes sold and shipped by Amazon.com, any small electronics and accessories are a big crap shoot now.
