Interesting. They nuked a couple of huge sellers. Their stuff is not available to buy.

"These Chinese companies knew what they were doing"

Amazon says it’s permanently banned 600 Chinese brands for review fraud

Unfortunately, this is a bit of a whack-a-mole situation.  Many of those Chinese sellers have several accounts they work through.

An understatement, I think, particularly in small electronics.  I sometimes see two or three identical items for unique products or product designs (but listed as different brands) offered within a narrow price range.
