I have this same problem, so I end up doing extra research both on and off amazon to try to be sure the product is legit. This boils down to time and work on my part, and when it gets to the point where I get frustrated or distracted, Amazon doesn't get a purchase from me. I suppose they're just too big and have too much momentum to care, but _eventually_ they will fall from their high position because they have become big and lazy.
- PaulHoule 4y agoThey can get away with it because conventional retailers are also pretty arrogant, particularly in that they decide what their customers want to buy. For instance Best Buy wants to sell you a SATA SSD but they won't sell you the mounting bracket to mount it in a desktop computer or to adapt the molex power connector to the drive. They sell low end mirrorless cameras but don't have a significant collection of lenses. I have a serious crafting programme but can find exactly one item at Michael's that I want because they are similarly opinionated. Amazon stocks the products I want to buy but the consistency of their service is awful.
