      b) I continue to maintain that the new shoplifting trend is not due to the absence of enforcement. It's due to the dispelling of the *illusion* of enforcement. It's always been possible to do this. There's never been any consequences. But people used to *think* there were.

      The boring answer about the marginal change is that Amazon's 3p market means there's a profitable way to liquidate things like stolen cosmetics. Good WSJ article about this a while back. Obviously lax enforcement doesn't help, but the demand side is important.

      The good news there is that Amazon doesn't want to be a venue for stolen goods, and can probably get good at detecting this.

          They nuked a bunch of brands that did that recently:https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22680269/amazon-ban-chinese-brands-review-abuse-fraud-policy …

          The cynical model is that the cost-benefit analysis hinges on whether or not there's bad PR.
