    I find myself half agreeing with this and half disagreeing.

    Should we not hold Amazon accountable for not vetting what’s on their store?

    If I went in to a physical shop and bought a knife, then when I got home the handle fell off, is it not reasonable to be angry at the brand and the shop I bought it from?

    Yeah, it’s not their product, but they gave the product their approval in the form of carrying the item for sale.

    If Amazon marketed themselves as an open marketplace, like eBay, I’d say fair enough. But that’s not what they do, Amazon markets themselves as an online store with their own warehouses. They’re more akin to an online supermarket.
