Is this relevant to the EU? I see lots of complaints about amazon on the HN frontpage but they mostly focus on the US. I assume tighter regulation and import tariffs on the other side of the atlantic would result in amazon's product selection looking different and perhaps getting counterfeits in is more onerous.

I haven't had any issues in the UK, and I suspect it's just the same effort to list on US and UK websites so why not go for the bigger site.

I was browsing for bird feed recently on Amazon DE and FR sold by Amazon themselves as I mostly don’t trust third parties. Some reviewers said they received just a transparent plastic bag with different seeds in it.

All those reviews were from 2019. So my guess is that they’ve started to commingle in Europe too.
