For Amazon Japan, there's a site called "Sakura Checker" (https://sakura-checker.jp https://sakura-checker.jp") which based on the distribution of the reviews and ratings, the grammar and wording, store's reputation, etc., tells how much the chance of reviews being fake are. Interestingly I checked a few of Aukey products and they were reported as highly having fake reviews.

That site is blocked by Microsoft on my mobile connction sadly. One obvious clue to the listing being Chinese is the length of the title. Chinese listings tend to include descriptions and usages of the product in addition to the product name itself. I guess it is the Chinese's way to SEO hacking because all products I see on Taobao or AliExpress have the same spammy title all the way to the length limit.

  Why is Microsoft blocking websites at all, let alone on a mobile connection?

  Long titles are the recommended tactic of all the "Make money fast on Amazon!" courses I've seen. Keyword stuffing for the algorithm.

    Unfortunately it appears to work well. Though it also has the side effect of cluttering up search results. I need a bunch of small drawstring pouches for a project. So all the resellers have stuffed their titles with "bag pouch sack" and the actual size of the item is irrelevant to the title.

There's https://reviewmeta.com/ https://reviewmeta.com/ as well which I've been using. It's sad that we have to resort to tools like these.

If other companies are created and thriving specifically to fix systemic problems in your company's business model, how much more do you need a 2x4 upside your head to FIX YOUR BUSINESS!?

  Why do it yourself when others are doing it for you? The effects of any change from Amazon directly has the potential to swing the bottom line drastically in a way not favorable to them. There's no way they are goibng to spend money to position them to make less money.
