Amazon probably don't care about the authenticity of the items, only that _they_ are fulfilling and shipping them.

  What I think, and what Amazon doesn't seem to get, is that these two things are inextricably linked. Buyers don't want counterfeit crap. To the extent that authenticity is in question, people are discouraged from buying, and if people don't buy, then you can't fulfill and ship. Of course, you can argue that it must not matter that much because, right now, Amazon is certainly fulfilling and shipping a lot. The real question is whether they could fulfill and ship more if they had different practices in this area. Personally I think yes.

  I find this hard to believe. Amazon happily sells returns missing parts as new, or ships counterfeits sold and fulfilled by Amazon for months despite reports in the reviews and subsequent returns. I should know, I've had both happen repeatedly on different items.

    Perhaps I'm being dense but I am pretty sure everything after your first sentence actually concurs with my post.
