As long as people keep ordering on websites such as Amazon that have an obvious conflict of interest and profit off fraud, the fraud will continue, nothing more. Reputation doesn't even matter anymore, people know how rotten Amazon is yet continue to use it. For me, if I have a single bad experience with a vendor, be it Amazon or anybody else, I will cease making business with them, period, and so much for convenience...

Since there is no scrutiny from the consumer anymore, these vendors don't care about accountability or their own reputation. I absolutely hate that marketplace paradigm where you don't even know who you are buying from anymore and everything is obfuscated.
