> If you're a third party trying this on Amazon then it has downsides such as lack of reviews, poor ranking etc. on sku-0001b that most of the year nobody is buying I doubt Amazon themselves would care. They permit a different scam in which you sell sku-0001a (say, a USB cable), garner lots of positive reviews, and then reassign the sku to a completely different device ($250 drone) and get lots of sales. FTC doesn’t appear to have paid any attention to Amazon’s scam enablement. Going specifically to the topic of this post: I could imagine using this to reassign the sku from one laptop to another which would be much harder to enforce.
