Amazon to become 2018 Ironman WC title sponsor

Yep they have knowingly sold fake giro helmets that offered no protection and sold stuff like ‘3t’ bars that sheared during descents…

So I’m curious, does Amazon work differently where you are? in that they aren’t simply a middleman that essentially sells either directly from the brands itself or from actual retailers?

A quick search for 3T handlebars on Amazon and 7 of the first 8 products that appear are sold from 3T itself. The top ‘sponsored’ item isn’t 3T nor brands itself as 3T, it’s sponsored and one would have to be daft to order it thinking it is 3T. Not necessarily being pro-amazon, I know the internet can work differently in other countries so please elaborate on the 3T thing…
