This. They do it all the time if you're an Amazon seller. If your product idea turns out to be a hot product, they'll jack your design and undercut you. When Amazon finally takes off the "fake" product, they either will create two more accounts and sell it again or you've went out of business for having a large stock of items that now you can no longer sell for at-profit.

There was a similar thing I've seen with cat egg beds. The Chinese stole the design but without knowing why the egg has that particular shape. They didn't understand the engineering behind it. The knock-off version resulted in cats and small dogs dying when the egg would inevitably tip over. Unlike the real one, theirs also didn't have a small hole for the animals to breathe air through. The real company had to shut down because people kept buying the knock-offs on eBay for half the price thinking they were buying the real thing. I only know this because I have the real egg and wanted another one but no longer could buy it and people were crying on their Facebook page accusing them for killing their pets.

FUCK THE CHINESE
