I am unfamiliar with the technicalities of the DMCA, but is it possible that it may not be applicable in this case?

If I am not mistaken, the DMCA deals with removal of copyright infringement per se from digitally available media. However, the listing of this product on Amazon's website is not in itself a copyright infringement. Instead, it is a "legitimate" listing of a product for sale which happens to be counterfeit when eventually received. Illegal no doubt, but can it really be taken down by DMCA procedure?
