Amazon will start publicly listing the names and addresses of US-based third-party sellers on its Marketplace platform as a measure to fight counterfeiters, according to a report from Business Insider . The change was announced in a note sent to sellers on Wednesday, and the change goes into effect on September 1st.
Business Insider notes that the suggestion to provide more transparency around e-commerce transactions came from a January counterfeiting report from the Department of Homeland Security . "To increase transparency on this issue, platforms should significantly improve their pre-sale identification of third-party sellers so that buyers can make informed decisions, potentially factoring in the likelihood of being sold a counterfeit or IPR infringing merchandise," the report reads.
