I can’t help but notice Amazon is facing a big lawsuit over hurting other corporations.
Selling an infinite catalogue of shoddy, fraudulent, and outright dangerous goods like leaden toys, phone-melting power-equipment, house-destroying incendiary batteries, and data-erasing empty data storage? No, that’s fine, that’s not Amazon’s fault, that was XZBBK’s fault. We kicked them off the store. No, I don’t think they’re related to that new company XBZZK, why would you say that? They sell legitimate USB cables that according to the listing used to be cutting board, a drying rack, a canopy for a kids bed, and an espresso machine.
It’s worse than that.
They DON’T kick bad actors off the store most of the time because they don’t know who they are.
Amazon keeps all of product X in one place in each distribution center, regardless of the supplier. So they can’t know which of the 35 sellers of the product is supplying the counterfeits.
I don’t buy batteries from them anymore. I’m pretty sure 90+% of 18650 cells they have are counterfeit.
At some point it became a question of who doesn’t sell counterfeit 18650s
The gall to question their listing with an average customer rating of 4.9/5 stars. Sure I only gave them that rating so I could qualify for the warranty on the 3 TB flash drive I bought from them for $8.99, but I’m sure it’ll work fine once I use it for the first time.
Amazon isn’t sued for not kicking bad actors, it is sued for being bad actor
