> it's not in their interests to fix the general counterfeiting problem

But really it is, because judging on comments here, people are looking at aliexpress when they don't care that they are buying a cheap chinese product.

If Amazon is known as the place where you pay for a brand and get a counterfeit, and aliexpress is where you can just pay less for the counterfeit, that seems to me like a problem Amazon would want to fix.
