I keep telling everyone I come across, STOP BUYING THINGS from Amazon. They know they have a huge problem and refuse to face it. I was injured in 2010 by counterfeit toiletries and since have embargoed them completely. I'm happy to buy things from the manufacture and pay shipping, at least I know with a reasonable confidence that what I am getting is going to be the real thing.

Stop buying things because a small percentage of them are broken. Makes sense.

  If you can't reliably distinguish between genuine and scam vendors, yes, that makes sense.

  If a fucking toiletry fucks with me... are you even serious? You see nothing remotely wrong with this?

    Stop buying things with high profit margin that are easily adulterated. Everything I buy passes through a filter: How profitable is it to fake this and do I care if it is?

There need to be better indexed shopify and big cartel sites. So many great online stores I've bought from use that as a web front.

  Is the new app Shopify launched like that or not good enough?

  I don't think that's a solution. While I really, really like Shopify as an ecommerce platform its usage alone tells you nothing about the legitimacy of the seller. Indexing all products on a certain platform just seems like another marketplace to me.

Out of curiosity, how did a toiletry injure you?

  Dioxin tainted shaving soap... Bad times. Had no idea it wasn't legit until I started having crazy dermal issues and saw a doctor. Paid crazy amounts to have a sample tested to see if there was anything I could do to solve it.

I have probably purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise over a decade from Amazon and I can’t remember ever having a problem with receiving the wrong item or what I could tell was a counterfeit item.
