> they've lost trust in Amazon and will not be buying electronics. Erosion of trust is absolutely a massive risk

They should do something about it if they care. They’re turning into a flea market and it seems their business plan (which doesn’t matter because AWS makes all the money) is to run out the clock and hope they put everyone out of business first.

They should stop allowing listing changes that completely change the product. They should allow specific vendors (probably at some cost) evade the SKU binning that co-mingles counterfeits with genuine products.

Fuck, they should issue a statement acknowledging the problem and tell us they’re trying to fix it before we abandon them.

That said, I had to buy an SD card recently and with all these scam products I went with the Amazon basics version since they’re the only seller of AB. Funny how that works…
