The local business probably isn't selling counterfeit goods.

  How is amazon getting away with this? I have never been able to find a genuine laptop battery, phone battery etc.

    I wouldn't say they're counterfeit, assuming you mean the ones I'm thinking of. They're branded as produced by third-parties, so it's clear that they're not an OEM product. There's nothing wrong with selling replacement supplies for devices.

      Amazon definitely sells straight up counterfeits as well. It's also a huge problem in the designer clothes and shoe space.

        /Amazon/ doesn't sell them, but sellers using the Amazon marketplace do.

          True. But for most users the difference is meaningless and Amazon isn't doing much to help make the distinction clear.
