If you buy a lot of SD cards and charging cables on Amazon, you might own some counterfeit items. Amazon\u2019s third-party seller network has long been a safe haven for counterfeiters who pass off fake clothing, app<\/a>liances, and computers<\/a> for the real thing. But now, Amazon is fighting back. The company says that it seized and destroyed over 2 million<\/a> fake products just last year.<\/p>\n

Amazon began its crusade<\/a> against counterfeit listings in 2019 and developed a \u201cCounterfeit Crimes Unit\u201d in 2020. At first, these campaigns seemed to do very little for the marketplace. But in Amazon\u2019s newly released Brand Protection Report<\/a>, the company claims that it destroyed over 2 million fake products sent to distribution centers, that it blocked 10 billion \u201csuspect\u201d product listings from going online, and that it banned 6 million new suspicious seller accounts.<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s report, only 0.01% of items sold in 2020 led to a counterfeit report, and only 7,000 people who reported knock-off items spoke with Amazon\u2019s Counterfeit Crimes Unit. It\u2019s an impressively low statistic, but it only accounts for customers who reported<\/em> fake items, and as you can imagine, most people assume that all items on Amazon are authentic.<\/p>\n

While destroying counterfeit products is pretty wasteful, Amazon says that it didn\u2019t want the knock-offs to find their way back in the seller\u2019s market. It should also be noted that, while Amazon claims its anti-counterfeit crusade is going well, it doesn\u2019t take much work to find dubious-looking items<\/a> on the company\u2019s marketplace. Amazon still has a long way to go before it locks down the counterfeit seller market, but it\u2019s making progress.<\/p>\n
