Amazon has the money to vet its products and provide better search results, it just chooses not to because it doesn’t need to.
Better to shove a shitty, expensive product in customer’s faces than a cheap, standard one.
Not only that, Amazon has the mechanisms to prevent counterfeiting today: dedicated bins for individual sellers products. They just make the vendors pay an extra fee to use it.
Literally extorting their sellers. "Gee it'd be a shame if some counterfeit merchandise were to be sold instead of yours. I could protect you from that"
I would be so happy if Amazon got slapped with a RICO charge.
