Amazon has little incentive to proactively address this issue unless their reactive measures (issuing refunds and taking down listings after people complain) are the more costly alternative.
There's an argument to be made that if we want Amazon to fix this issue once and for all, we should head to Amazon and buy these devices en masse, then complain when we get products that are designed such that they could not serve any purpose other than to deceive and defraud consumers.
There's also an argument to be made that we, as informed individuals, are obligated to take this action to prevent others from being scammed.
- adra 4y agoAmazon has to actually protect their marketplace as a healthy scam free place if they ever hope to retain the market they have, forget growth. I stopped shipping through eBay very quickly after hitting bad/lazy actors and it's the same with Amazon. If I'm expected to self police my purchases because some "vendors" are fraudulent, then this isn't the marketplace for normals and I'll find a vendor that only sells not shit.
