The problem is absolutely massive. As a 3P seller who at one point decided to declutter their own home by selling on Amazon, it is infuriating to compete with those who are clearly committing a crime.
I frequently saw "this is a REPLICA" or "This (Wii / Wii U) comes with 100+ games pre-installed at no extra charge!" in the condition notes. (These notes are individual to each seller and each seller's product)
This was blatant counterfeiting / piracy. I opened a large number of cases, but ultimately the answer I would get is, "buy the item and report your findings".
It's not my job to police Amazon, but I did take great pleasure in checking in on the counterfeit sellers, most of whom appeared to be suspended after 2-3 months. (Presumably once they sold their counterfeit copy and were reported by the buyer)
