How Chinese Seller Manipulate Amazon Algorithm
Vendors in China manipulate Amazon.
-
They leave fake reviews for their competitors products so that their Chinese brands end up at the top of the search list.
-
They will buy competitors’ products, report it as dangerous or fake, return it, and then Amazon suspends the solid vendor’s sales because of a high defective return rate.
-
Chinese vendors also write fake positive reviews for their own products.
-
Even when Amazon bans a vendor, the Chinese vendor just makes multiple shell accounts to operate from whenever one gets banned.
-
To artificially boast sales to get their fake reviews, they send empty boxes to 3rd parties who are part of the game, and claim them to be genuine transactions.
There is a video on YouTube as a proof of how chinese seller manipulate amazon search results and play with hardworking honest US sellers

Very unfortunate but not much can be done besides reporting the seller and having proof to back up the claim. Amazon is just not capable of monitoring over five million seller accounts.

Well this is the problem when a Communist nation is permitted to sell in a Democracy. The Chinese Government does not crack down on IP infringement, those that break into USA corporate and Government computer networks, etc. The cultures are vastly different though USA politicians allow it and consumers like cheap.
If you feel compelled to report such instances where Amazon policy is being violated, then report it. But do understand that Amazon enforces policy differently when it comes to offshore and domestic sellers. Plus as you noted, a violator will pop up under another seller’s account and continue.
