Why do you think the problem is growing, and that it has to do with commingling?
Re multiple quantity: have you gotten counterfeit and authentic product in the same box?

It's growing because it's happening in a higher and higher percentage of my orders. Plus based on public knowledge of the issue. 4 or 5 years ago, it took serious searching to find other people talking about it. The last 2 years, it's become fairly well known. And is now common.
Some problematic products, I've ordered a couple dozen times and never gotten a genuine product.
>in the same box?
Yes, multiple times, although probably less than 10. And a couple were supposed single seller items. Didn't matter.
(One case initially got my account flagged and couldn't buy anything else until I sent pictures for proof. One of the only times I've ever had Amazon call me.)
However, the much more common occurrence is variance over separate orders.
And you kinda make my point. The practice is for the benefit of Amazon, not us.
(It still benefits Amazon to sell fakes already within their inventory.)
>Multiple quantity from different sellers shouldn't be combined
Yet it's happening. I don't claim to know all the whys, but I've ordered enough to know that it's happening. And a lot.
