I wish this was more common.

I rarely, like once every 6 months, look for some obscure thing on Amazon. First thing I do after finding products, I research which one of the listing has any chance of not being a fake/dud/scam.

I can't imagine buying anything of value on Amazon.

Less than a quarter million dollars. That might be enough to motivate your local car wash, but Amazon Japan?

> Excel Plan reported the situation and requested Amazon take appropriate action, but the page listing the genuine oximeter was deleted and the company was unable to sell it, according to the suit.

How very nice and kind of Amazon.

It's not uncommon to see pirated, uncensored anime character dakimakura covers and books being sold on Amazon Japan.

That’s not very much money. It probably cost Amazon more to cut the check.

I stopped using Amazon around 2015. I don't want to buy goods from AliExpress with extra steps so I just directly buy from there. And if I need something urgently I go to a local store.

244 thousand dollars is really nothing though for Amazon JP
