Amazon like most large organisations can't possibly individually check every single source of supply that does business with them -- at least not directly.
You could argue that they should -- but again would you be prepared to pay a lot more for your goods.
A Rogue trader can always slip in under te net and on the whole I think Amazon does a useful job and the amount of complaints it gets is very small in relation to the number of customers serviced and the volume of goods supplied.
As always in these things weed out the bad boys like you've done AND ALSO REPORT THE TRADER / SUPPLIER TO YOUR LOCAL TRADING STANDARDS OFFICER. (Most countries if not all in the developed countries have these type of people on their payrolls. Complaints do work too since the trading licence of these companies are withdrawn and the directors / business owners fined significantly too).

PLease note that the had nothing to do with Amazon, as such - they merely provided the portal (in the same way a eBay does) for the fraudster selling counterfeits.
Their prices are not set by Amazon - but Amazon frequently ends up picking up the tab on fraudulent sales, under their own rules.
It's the fraudsters who increase prices for the rest of us, not Amazon.
