Third Party Vendors and Scam Artists on Amazon

Anyone get cancelled orders or returns from bad 3rd party vendors?

In the electronics area of Amazon, there is a huge increase in 3rd party returns and I suspect orders. I get a lot of orders for high priced electronics and then nothing. I look at the items and see bogus offers at half price. A lot of these are scammers from Romania asking for mailgrams of money. Has anyone contact Amazon about this problem that is totally killing the electronics market for affiliates? I think this is THE major problem now.

Go to the Associates discussion board on Amazon. There are several threads about this--there are at least a couple of people there actively reporting bogus sellers to Amazon.

I have been there, but not many electronic sellers one there that have responded to those notes. Any here that have a ton of electronic orders and never see any sales? The third party problem is massive and is killing Amazon.

Amazon just announced that there will be no more 3rd party vendors in electronics unless pre-approved. Here is the announcement:

This is VERY good news for associates. No more 3rd party returns. (At least not in the quanitities that we have had).
