> Right now Amazon is a giant flea market. It’s on par with Craigslist, and a little worse than eBay. I'd argue eBay is actually safer than Amazon now, because at least the reviews are less sketchy and easier to trust and also buyers can self-select from more legit products by going for higher prices. And can guarantee you're buying from the same seller every time who will ship direct to you. Whereas for things like makeup on amazon even if you choose higher priced you're still at risk of getting knockoffs due to comingling.
