In the case of Amazon, I don’t believe they always do enough due diligence on items under the “Sold by Amazon” banner. The overriding issue is that by combining both their own curetted product line and the open marketplace into one storefront, the third party sellers devalue the main brand. I just don’t trust that even buying a “sold by Amazon” product will be any good. There is also just too much choice, you feel like you are being scammed the minute you open Amazon.
