Isn't that basically the same as on eBay and Alibaba?
Ebay has a curated front page but it never shows stuff sold from a jurisdiction distant enough to not be accountable for shady practices. It seems like amazon is the odd one out here since they hold inventory, ship it and sell a lot of things themselves.
- dfxm12 7y agoFYI, as an official policy, eBay doesn't allow counterfeit goods to be sold: https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/fake-items-policy?id=4276 https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-ite... It's reasonable for shoppers to see this as an endorsement and assume eBay actually enforces this policy.
- lochlan 7y agoCounterfeit items, e.g. video games, are all over eBay. I’ve reported many auctions over the years as infringing and have never seen one taken down.
