Amazon knows all about of the garbage being sold on its site but only does something about it if you're a massive tech company who threatens to sue, very cool. I wonder how many of these thumb drives are legit. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=2+tb+thumb+drive&crid=YZ410MSN6L1...

my question is why hasn't the FBI seized every Amazon warehouse for knowingly selling counterfeit goods? They do this routinely for smaller businesses selling fake stuff
If it were any of those things, it would be liable for safety issues of the products it sells, among other things.
I suspect “other things” includes “knowingly operating a cartel that violates patent and copyright law on a larger scale than any other organization in the western hemisphere; primarily by importing illegal and unsafe counterfeit goods into the US”.
I have no idea why the courts have gone along with this scheme. My guess is that it’s corruption.

Yes because Amazon used unfair practices to crush small competitors like Walmart…
No, I don't think I've seen that being claimed. It has been claimed that they have used their anticompetitive practices against others. Having Walmart as a competitor doesn't mean that they don't have a dominant market position with power to abuse at their disposal.
And probably less than 15% of overall retail marketshare?
Retailer and vendor make a contractual deal to merchandise product. Is your grocery store colluding with CocaCola to display their products right at the front of the store while putting healthy items like milk far away!!?? Are they harming the health of your children?? Is this just a conspiracy to make greedy dentists richer?? More news at 11
Of course they are.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but Coca Cola exists precisely because of those sorts of distribution and product placement deals.
Grocery stores are paid a ton of money to place products in favorable spots on the shelves and end caps. That and the consumer surveillance loyalty cards are a huge fraction of their profits.
(I’d ban both practices if I were supreme dictator. Sadly, I am not.)

In fact, there are, as in much of Big Box retail.
There's store-within-a-store, but it's not really the same thing as a marketplace, and not the type of thing where any provider dominates the market enough to have a monopolistic power on it.
I returned my unopened Apple Watch to Amazon. Getting my money back has been a massive pain. Usually Amazon literally returns the money when the delivery person picks up the item from my doorstep. But with this Amazon required a scheduled pickup with UPS, did not acknowledge receiving the item even though UPS showed it as received and a few weeks later they are still asking me to wait for 1 month before contacting th…
I think it is likely that they are trying to see if the watch you returned was counterfeit before they refunded you. This is probably a difficult process as the counterfeits of Apple products have gotten really good. When you pushed them, they bumped yours to the front of the line.

If you are interested in continuing to do business with Amazon I would do some research into how they treat customers that have filed chargebacks against them. I don't personally have experience with this but it is probable that you will end up on their shit list and any further customer service actions may skew outside of you getting any benefit of the doubt or other considerations.
