Today I wanted to search for a good pair of socks. I have bought a product from a Chinese seller once and it did not match the picture (bad sewing, lackluster quality). I am posting on this website because Amazon would never allow criticism of it's own company in it's own review section (go figure). They lied to me about a business once when I phoned them and asked them whether it was Chinese (the seller changed details to hide his identity).

To my outrage, all top products (all that meets the eye, wtf!) displayed on Amazon have a Chinese business addresses! You can detect this by clicking on the blue seller name. Take a look at this example:

  1. the review ratio stinks as much as the 2020 elections
  2. the name implies a German branch of the company

As a backup of my finding there is this article written about Chinese intrusion into global markets like Amazon over here:

Please stop buying from Amazon. Or check your seller, even twice, before you buy anything. I am just deeply intrigued by this. It looks like China is farming "perfect looking" Amazon accounts to establish a "brand" after they did realize that Wish.com was widely perceived as a scam!

Get some socks from Darn Tough. They’re made in the USA, have a lifetime warranty, and are absolutely the best.
