"Accepting returns" means that I have to deal with a counterfeit product. Requesting the return, shipping it off, and ordering a new one (aka real one) are a series of pains that I'd rather skip.

Product QA, tracking inventory provenance, and punishing bad actors would be a major improvement.

An additional problem with that is that Amazon will not guarantee that the replacement will be a genuine product.

Amazon has been shipping counterfeit products when you buy "directly" from them for more than five years, now.

They don't care at all. The market is failing to punish them. We need a government to step in and fuck them up.

Comingled means those can be counterfeit
