The seller's account is unaffected, including the full remainder of their scammy inventory in all its AI-nglish glory.

At least the seller offers this quality cat mirror/I'm sorry I cannot complete this task, which has Massive Storage Capacity.

$898 and it boosts "Power Efficiency: Our SFD boasts incredible power efficiency, consuming minimal battery power to provide longer playback or recording than others."

Amazon has gone to shit


They get what they deserve, and the people who shop there too.

Amazon has been shitty for a long time and that’s because people allowed them to be and even participate.


Humans have. Or maybe we’ve always been fully willing and capable of scamming anything of value out of anyone and everyone possible.

Either way, it’s humanity that’s broken, not just the capitalist paradise we created.


It's remarkable the contortions I see to avoid blaming Amazon for anything. Surely we can't blame them for obvious scams on their platform. After all, they cater to humans.

You must have missed a part of your post to make your point: "And all that is entirely uniformly spread out, which is why Amazon is precisely as bad as every other e-commerce website"

Or was that not what you were trying to say?


But somehow there exist retailers that don't have such a problem fakes and counterfeits. Even ones run by humans.


Oh. You’re right. All scales of business are the same, and counterfeit prevention is the same at all sizes. Also the number of products a small business sells is the same as a large business.

You got me.

I fucking hate Amazon, but you got me.


I think I'll order the "double chin reduction bandage" https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Innovative-Facial-Bandage...


Seller account seems gone too now.


Is it possible it returned back? I keep obtaining results.


Strange, yeah it does load now. Yesterday it didn't.
