I have been seeing a notice on Amazon listings for cameras and lenses:
[FONT="]What you need to know[/FONT][FONT="] – This product has a serial number that uniquely identifies the item. When your order ships, Amazon will scan the serial number and add it to the history of this order. Should the item go missing before it arrives, Amazon will also register the serial number with Recipero’s AssetWatchTM, preventing fraudulent use or reselling of the item. There is no action required from you and the serial number will only be used to prevent fraudulent activity of the missing item.

[FONT=Amazon Ember, Arial, sans-serif]Its good that Amazon is starting to track serial numbers like the real camera shops, it might cut down on fraudulent returns too. I've bought camera equipment from Amazon but they are not my first choice because they have been known to ship out camera boxes with some random junk inside.
