I would say 50 percent or more of the items I buy from Amazon are counterfeit. I suspect clothes, almost all books and electronics are fake. Amazon tacitly accepts it to boost their sales figures.

Can you post some of these listings? I’ve never gotten a counterfeit item from Amazon

I ordered these boxing wraps a year apart. The second time they were noticably thinner and worse quality. I suspect they were counterfeit but I suppose it's possibld that the manufacturerchanged how they were made. Either way that doesnt changed that i did a buy it again and got something different.

Amazon "won" in this case because for the cost it wasnt worth my time in returning them.
