Quotes
My thoughts
I don't know how listing names and addresses will counterfeiting products sold on Amazon. Maybe it will be helpful for Amazon to identify is this an individual seller or an actual 3rd party small or big businesses authorized seller? A lot of counterfeit products and sellers are from China so how is this going to stop counterfeiting by listing names and addresses? Raid the store? I don't know. Amazon in this news say, "Amazon has long fought counterfeiters on Marketplace, which is now responsible for more than half of all of the company’s e-commerce sales. The company has tried a number of tactics over the years, including monitoring suspicious listings and sellers using various automated software and taking action against sellers of items that are prone to price gouging and other forms of fraud, like face masks and hand sanitizer, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic." I don't see any progress at all. I still receiving fake JBL bluetooth speakers and such from Amazon. I love to get my electronics from Best Buy but the 14 days return period for non-elite members is kind of bumper to me because I don't want to deal 1 month for warranty claim. 14 days period return period is too short for me.
