It's absolutely trivial if you have a human review changes. But that's expensive. So I'd assert the problem is trivial but expensive, and Amazon lacks the proper incentives to do anything about it: they make money from fraudulent sales. It's a short-term incentive to not solve the problem. Sure, there's a long-term cost that this fraud slowly erodes Amazon's reputation, but it's hard to measure and its consequences are way beyond the horizon of the next quarterly report.
- VBprogrammer 4y agoThey should charge for changing listings. If not in money by taking the listing down for an indefinite period with some vague "in review" period.
- PebblesRox 4y agoSeems like this would hurt vendors making legitimate changes more than fraudulent vendors.
