And pay no attention to the fact that the seller is registered in China and sells everything from furniture to underwear, UV lamps, and I kid you not, "effective butt lifting massage cream".

Walmart, cosco, and a hundred other stores sell a wide range of stuff too. (on their websites, even if it is available direct from the manufacturer's website or other websites).

Is the problem "registered in China"?

No, the problem is that this stuff is absolute junk sold by sellers who face zero accountability even if they put rat poison in your skin care cream, who can keep returning to the platform by making up new nonsense brand names like "FOPEAS" that don't even have a website, as fake and low effort as it might have been if they at least tried to pretend.

This issue is highly specific to Amazon and has been documented in great detail.

Can you get one of these at Walmart? https://www.amazon.com/complete-information-provided-provide...

Cats with "Exceptional Read/Write Speeds" aren't sold at cosco either

Good old not-a-scam FOPEAS has you covered though!

So? That's where stuff gets made. These companies exist because they can acquire cheap goods from factories that also make everything else sold on Amazon and Walmart as "legitimate" brands.

They literally just do not know how to speak English, so an LLM is a game changer for them.

The difference between legitimate brands and whatever these are is reputation, quality control and some level of accountability - these "brands" have none of it. Any legitimate business would come up with a proper brand name and put some effort into it, rather than cycling through brand names faster than I buy new t-shirts.

Is it less legitimate than the millions of other fake word six-letter chinese brands selling disposable junk on Amazon?

Amazon is flooded with hilariously named companies all drop shipping the same cheap products.

It’s super weird and a horrible user experience. But it’s not fraudulent.

If anything it’s showing how much we’ve been overpaying for goods that cost literally cents to manufacture but sell for $30 or $50.
