In this case amazon are essentially being eBay and like eBay they will refund you if anything goes wrong. They will then deduct that refund from the seller (while still charging the seller fees). We don't sit around and wonder how eBay gets away with these things. They also cant inspect every good to see if it's stolen. If you want to allow third party sellers on an online platform this will happen and there's very little we can do to stop it.
- thfuran 4y agoThe problem isn't with allowing third party sellers, it's with allowing unvetted third party sellers.
- partiallypro 4y agoeBay has an anti-counterfeit program but does have some theft issues...but it's MUCH harder to move volume on eBay so it's not even close to Amazon's issues (not to mention some stolen goods are even housed and fulfilled by Amazon itself through their FBA program!) Facebook marketplace is also flooded with stolen goods, but that's largely with the not so smooth criminal minds moving low volume goods. Amazon has actually started to remove abilities to get ahold of support to report problems, there was a thread about it here recently.
