It is not rare that non-techie people buy stuff from third party sellers believing they buy from Amazon.
- amorphid 10y agoI'm find it less of a value, too. I increasingly find better prices elsewhere, partially because I really don't want to join Prime. After browsing Amazon first, I bought a postal scale on eBay, and a refurbished laptop on Newegg.
- sfilargi 10y agoYeap! If you can't trust the seller, why not go directly to eBay? The other day we received a parcel from Ukraine. When I openned it my wife said "I don't understand, why is it from Ukraine? I ordered it from Amazon!" Since then, I cancelled all my family's Amazon accounts and ask everybody to send me links to the stuff they want and I order them for them. Having third party sellers is the equivalent to Macy's allowing shady street sellers selling counterfeit perfumes in their store. Completely stupid idea if you ask me.
