By commingling products, Amazon is not only putting consumer's trust at risk, but they may damage the relationship between an unknowing consumer and the brand; impacting the brands current and future sales.

Chicago startup 3PM Marketplace Solutions protects brands with machine learning algorithms that spot counterfeits and help companies understand how customers are coming across their products.
