Interesting news.

Even if it's FBA or shipped and sold by Amazon?

Should still be Amazon's Responsibility.

If Amazon even thinks that your selling counterfeit items they close you down in a jiffy and it can be months until you get back your account ( if ever ). It's in their T&C.

What does that have to do with them taking responsibility

Depends on the item but as a seller on Amazon:

1. Most people have no clue if it's fake or not unless it's really off, obviously every case is different.

2. It's actually pretty easy if you know what you're doing to get back on and continue selling even if you're selling counterfeit items.

Obviously when an item comes from China there's a big reason for concern, however counterfeit coming out of Amazon warehouses also exists.

I know quite a few ppl that had accounts closed for a while but that was a few years back.

Dunno the status these days

Being shut out of Amazon is one thing. Being flagged as importing counterfeit goods is quite another. I believe the repercussions can be far further than losing the 'convenience' of GE etc. It can mean being held up by customs every time you try to enter the US.

I once bought a brand new cellphone sold by amazon, it was an LG, it came in a generic box with a Samsung charger!

Unfortunately this is of no surprise, even Amazon items can have issues, although not as frequent. It would take a lot of writing on how and why is this is so.
