Most people would not expect to find such scams from a large retailer like Amazon.

I must not be most people because I only expect scams on a scamazon…heck I don’t even have a login for the shitty American Chinese reseller. Not worth my time.

Most people buy lots of junk off Amazon, and if there’s an issue Amazon just eats the loss.

But these scams abuse it two ways:

  1. But off a legit seller, return the fake. Next person gets the fake.

  2. “Third party seller” where they sell cheap (but solid) junk for months to build reputation, then flip to high price items that are flat out scams.

At some point Amazon switched from a “Walmart model” to more like a swap meet where you have no idea who you’re buying from. Not everyone noticed.
