Over the past 5 years, Amazon had turned into a veritable minefield and I've come to treat it like I do when ordering from direct-from-China sites, like dx and banggood. Every department has their own unique problems riding on top of the problems that exist across all departments.
Since the start of Amazon carrying non-books, I've been perpetually amazed by their absolutely terrible product category breakdowns, lack of category enforcement, and piss poor filtering. They left these problems unchecked so long that they basically screamed "Game me. Nobody's watching."
I'm surprised that no one had been sent something dangerous because of these issues. Maybe a concerted community effort to get rat poison listed as the #1 best seller in all the candy categories would be a good wakeup call. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happened.
