I really wish Amazon would flag products who using images very similar to other listings. I'm tired of seeing dropshippers putting a random company logo on an alibaba listing. Leads to crap products and a poor experience.


What do you mean Xichickenmomos USB c 65W cable is crap? It's the best product ever with 5 star ratings and 100s of orders.


And some people are even using them as barbecue grill plates and pet cemetery headstones! What a versatile product.


tbh I much prefer the Alibaba images which I can reverse image search to something with just enough use of cropping and watermarking to fool Amazon's filter...


On the other hand, it increases the range of available products on Amazon (at the cost of lowering the average quality). What they really need is to make those sellers easy to spot and filter out, if necessary.


These annoy me too, but they're not necessarily crap. In a sense, this is exactly what Amazon Basics is, only I trust Amazon's curation.
