This is entirely backwards.

If it's oh so difficult for Amazon to properly handle this function of a business, that is AMAZON'S fucking problem.

Neither the customer nor any other outside entity forced Amazon to construct itself as the operation it is. They very deliberately and actively did that of their lwn volition and over the sustained course of decades.

Back up and revisit just what is and is not a sane perspective here. Poor Amazon can't be expected to deal with all the scammers they created for themselves? But can still rake in the benefits of their scale and insane staff:customer ratio 100x more than any normal shop?

They absolutely CAN deal with their fraud, the same way every other business in the world before them had to, by actually having whatever number of employees it takes to service their number of customers.

They just can't do that and still have 1% of the normal overhead every other businesses has.

Incredible that anyone is even for a second considering the plight of poor Amazon in a case like this.
