Since the lockdowns over the last year or so I've been buying more online, in particular from Lazada. Unfortunately I've been disappointed by fake items more and more. It appears that Lazada no longer vents their vendors. Has anyone else seen this lately?

Not my experience (over 170 items purchased in last 3 years). But what kind of items are you identifying as fake: do you mean branded goods?

Not very good fakes if you can spot it!
Some years ago I took my printer in to Epson for repair: they accused me of using fake ink cartridges, which I denied; always bought refills from same reputable shop. I asked them how they could tell they were fake. They admitted that the only way would be to send them for chemical analysis of the inks!!
