This is a good place to ask this question: Lately, we’re trying to buy products on Amazon only if it says, “Sold by Amazon.com.” Is that a good way to ensure that the product is not counterfeit? The assumption is that if Amazon is selling something directly, it would be getting it directly from the real manufacturer.
- ss64 6y agoYour assumption is wrong - FBA means that 'Sold by Amazon' will often be supplied by a third party, so you have to dig through all the offers to see if any are FBA.
- ciabattabread 6y agoUnfortunately, Amazon commingles their own items with the third-party sellers.
- cherioo 6y agoAmazon has yet to confirm or deny if all, or any, "Sold by Amazon" product is commingled with 3rd party FBA product. In that sense, they are not 100% safe. I really wish Amazon would take a stance here. On the other hand, the vast majority of report of counterfeit anecdote I have seen indicated they bought from 3rd party but with FBA. So me personally I still place trust on Sold By Amazon product. More recently I have seen product where that explicitly points out that Sold By Amazon is "authentic", which is kind of funny and sad.
