There is a link. Click on "goes".
A link showing up like this might be more noticeable for people to see.

If counterfeit filters get on Amazon, who are they getting those filters from. Apparently Amazon can't filter out suppliers with counterfeit products. Filters are only one of many counterfeit items sold through Amazon.

I would not care for any other item but filters are critical for an engine's life and i already put 13 of them on my cars. I think Amazon is liable if someone says OEM and is not, period. If Amazon cannot verify the source, how can i? It was only by chance i discovered it, when i put one from Autozone next to it.

I wary of Amazon for counterfeit parts. When I was shopping for the HID (I think) bulbs for my Acura TL, I made sure to avoid Amazon as I wanted genuine high quality replacements. My friend who owned the car previously had bought cheap Chinese made ones and they didn't last very long. At least he knew what he was getting: I didn't want to try to order good ones and end up cheap counterfeit ones.
Ive posted this several times but there was someone on here or one of the other automotive forums that worked at an Amazon warehouse that said that roughly 75 percent of the name brand auto parts are counterfeits being sold by amazon.
That's just auto parts we are talking about. I'm sure a high percentage of the other stuff they sell is the same way.

Why does Amazon sell counterfeit products if it's a known thing within Amazon? Wonder if anyone there actually cares or digs into to investigate for counterfeit products before they are put on Amazon for sale.
No, they're not. They can't possibly police every item that's sold through their site and no one should ever expect them to. Should a local Ford dealer investigate all the parts they receive, even if directly from Ford ? I mean, what if someone swapped out good parts with counterfeit ones ? It could happen....
All companies may have multiple suppliers for the same parts and as long as they meet specific criteria, they're good to go. You point out the size of a logo, finish of surfaces, positioning of holes - NONE of which are mechanical or functional differences. These are only visual differences.
What is wrong with your car ?

Research why Milwaukee won’t warranty “Milwaukee” tools sold by Amazon. If Techtronic can’t control such a lecherous situation- you have to wonder.
They don't care or at least thats what I figure. The majority of people don't even know they are buying counterfeit goods.
What about all the stuff Amazon sells, meaning Amazon bought product from someone, and then put it in an Amazon warehouse to ship out when someone buys product. What measures if any doesn't Amazon take to ensure they aren't buying counterfeit parts that they put in the Amazon warehouses?
