Yes, marketplace sellers are subject to fewer controls.
Amazon themselves not so much. You can agree for Amazon to ship your product but in the T&Cs authenticity is the marketplace seller’s responsibility.

I don't know if Amazon UK does it but from what I've read an Amazon US marketplace retailer can get Amazon to store and ship their stuff and basically the Amazon gear and the marketplace gear all get put into the same containers and Amazon then just ships from there. You see loads of people complaining about getting fake knockoffs that were stated as being "fulfilled by Amazon".

On a side note to that, looking at the feedback, it looks like people running the “not as advertised” con that’s been rife since they relaxed the returns rules.

Put old balls in the box and claim thats what you got then get a refund and keep the decent balls, no questions asked. Folk were doing it with woodworking equipment like boxes of chisels. One guy even claimed that he got Barbie dolls in his chisel box… 10/10 for imagination.

I've seen people do this with PC components as well, shipping back old crappy CPU's and GPU's and Amazon not checking and then sending them out to the other people. Someone did it to my brother in law when he sold a PS4 game on eBay, he didn't take a photo of the disc inside the box and just shipped it off. The buyer then lodged a refund complaint and showed a photo of the box with an old crappy worthless disk inside the box. All of that for a £30 game, some people have no shame.
 
Have ordered some AVXs, which are arriving this afternoon. Will update with any concerns ref authenticity, but looks legit to me.

The balls are last years model or special editions, so just looks like an end of line stock clearance….

Yeah, marketplace sellers can ask Amazon to fulfil orders. But all responsibility rests on the seller, Amazon will sometimes box up smaller parts but for the most part take no heed of what’s in them.

If people can find a scam, they will. It’s the sad reality of life and the world wide web has just increased opportunity.
 
I'll be really surprised if there aren't a lot of fake golf balls out on the market. When you look at some of the fake designer gear, bags, sports shirts, golf clubs, etc, next to the real product, I think you'll be surprised at how accurate it is.

There is a club reseller that I won't name, and a friend of a friend brought from them a Scotty Cameron putter. It turned out to be a fake and the company refunded him in full. The point I'm making is that some fakes are so good, that even supposed experts can be fooled.

Last years model are better than the latest ones. When Titleist dropped the price, they dropped the quality, in my opinion.

As were mine.

Mind you at that price I would still have been happy if they were last year's version .

After all that is what you would currently be sold in many pro shops.
 
American golf doing tp5 and Tp5x 4 for 3 apparently, anyone who plays them 👍
