Actually, fixing Amazon is very simple, but I believe Amazon does NOT want to do this.
You see, the trick is to only buy when the seller is "Amazon". These products almost always have high-quality, and are authentic.
You see, Amazon makes it very difficult to filter "Amazon" as the seller. There is no "default" and I believe it reverts to "All sellers" on every search. I believe this is deliberate.
The "seller" problem applies to Walmart, Bestbuy, etc. But for some reason, it's much easier to filter the seller on these sites.

- rootusrootus 5y agoI do this when I have to buy something from Amazon, but it does not really solve the problem. Amazon commingles product so what you get shipped may not be the product that Amazon actually sourced from their distributor, it may be third-party after all.
