Beware of Fake Items
Fake items bought online have a negative impact on the sales of the official stores. Most items sold in major online stores are not actually sold by the companies that produced the original items. In 2017, 58 percent of the major online store’s sales came from other sellers. Most of the time, toys, baby products, and other items sold by them might not be as safe as the official ones.
The major online store, however, started a program in 2017 that allows official stores to register and trademark their items in order to find fake ones. They also need to use a unique code on their products. But some official stores say that there should be more to be done.
The online store explains that official stores are responsible for the quality of their products, and the law says that the platform seller (the major online store) itself is not liable for fake items. They also say they’re helping smaller companies sell.
Some experts worry that not enough will be done to prevent fake items until a serious accident happens.
