Amazon is turning into shit. So many fake and low quality products. You want to buy maxell they will sell you maxtell.

If there are multiple sellers there is no way to know which one is selling fake which one is selling original.

 

[mikrotik]

I always feel reviews should include seller's name as well.

this has 4 star reviews overall but when you look at reviews, a lot of people got fake products. There are multiple sellers so no way to know who is selling fake stuff.

On Amazon it is priced at Rs 175 on Flipkart original is sold at Rs 300+

My last complete order was from flipkart, on amazon everything had mixed reviews about fake products.

Just wondering if the ban on many low value items from China will help to reduce the fake product problem. I know few dealers in Mumbai who used to bulk order from alibaba and sell here. It was quite a profitable business as the dude purchased a BMW 5 series last year.

I really hate how there are a billion 'brands' selling the same Chinese product from alibaba or somewhere else at vastly different prices. Need to buy a microphone and can't even find something from a proper company from any site at all

My Amazon account has been put on hold, because I tried to use a (Visa Debit) gift card a friend shared with me.

...am I in trouble?

 

[Jay]

becomes a problem only if the gift card was carded.

What did the email say? Card deemed not valid by issuing bank?

 

[Jonas]

Nope. It said the order was successful, then after a while it put my account on hold. And later asked me to revise my payment method.
