The key phrase I look for that I haven't seen discussed in this thread explicitly is: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."
(That is the current status shown for the No Starch book prompting the thread.)[1]
Based on some youtube videos[2] showing FBA stocking bins at the warehouse, I can see where multiple 3rd-party seller using FBA Fulfillment by Amazon have comingled inventories.
Is there also evidence that 3rd-party sellers have contaminated Amazon's internal inventory? The short tweets from No Starch doesn't make it clear that you get counterfeit books when even when you choose "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."

- pmorici 10y agoYeah, I do that too. You used to be able to filter by seller and only view items sold by Amazon I was exceptionally irritated when they removed that ability.
- SantiagoDraco 10y agoYou can do it but only by filtering down to a specific department. Once you do that you can choose Amazon.com as the seller filter.
