Overall this is great. This might have some problems though. Some frequently returned items might not have any issues, but might be getting ripped off more.

For example, I bought a warehouse deal controller. I opened the controller box and instead of a controller I found 2 bars of soap.

That's true, and admittedly, there's a part of me looking for a reason to dismiss this action. But at the same time, after a decade or more of doing nothing, Amazon is doing something, so credit to them for finally making an effort. I'll still never use the site or service, but it's good to know they're finally taking some action against unethical sellers.

I think if I knew something like that about a product, I would also not want to buy it. Those false positives are probably fine.

Why wouldn't you want to buy it new if this problem only affect the used products?
