Amazon knows on each purchase which seller the inventory came from. If a report comes in that a specific purchase was fake, they can trace which seller shipped it. This isn't complicated.
- TazeTSchnitzel 8y agoThis is wrong; if it were true, Amazon wouldn't have such a huge problem. Amazon don't know which seller it's from if it's Fulfilled by Amazon comingled inventory. You can literally ship plastic bricks to Amazon with the right UPC codes on them, ask Amazon to return some of the inventory, and get back actual products with that code that were sent to Amazon by other sellers.
- ikeboy 8y agoThis is true but doesn't mean Amazon doesn't know who sends what. As long as they track which box contains which units it doesn't matter if they ship A's stock for B's sales or returns, they still know it was A's stock.
- TazeTSchnitzel 8y agoThey don't track that, if they did they wouldn't have the problem.
- ikeboy 8y agoThey claim they track it, I obviously don't run their warehouses but I don't think they'd explicitly claim it works one way if it doesn't. Why do you think keeping stock separate instantly solves a counterfeit problem?
