Thank you. I might add that Amazon has had a lot of sketchy or definitely counterfeit stuff in the last year because of this policy. Much of it Chinese. EBay is getting more reliable.
I agree and Amazon loves the profits. One longtime Amazon seller wrote in the forums that he was being sabotaged by Chinese merchants destroying his reputation and trying to get him kicked off the platform with all sorts of "inhuman shady tactics." Some people were posting that sabotaging your competition was common practice in China. Not sure how true that is, but I guess if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.
Agreed, the AZN market is so convoluted and bastardized/rife with fakes that it's become a huge problem for resellers there.
That said, if you can offer a high-quality widget and take the time to photograph and write a coherent listing, there's a lot of opportunity to capitalize on how low the bar has gotten. At least until a CN manufacturer steals your listing and undercuts you because they aren't beholden to copyright/IP law. Big oof.
