> Amazon mixing the stock of all the sellers selling the same thing. So, when you want something like a USB key or SSD, sdcards, even if the listing and the seller you are looking at looks legit, you don't know where the item will come from, it can easily be fake as it will not necessarily come from the stock of this seller.
Do you have any source for this? This explanation is perfect to explain some friends about why they should be wary of buying electronics from Amazon
- dismalpedigree 4y agoAll inventory filled by Amazon (almost all prime goods are filled this way) is commingled by sku. This allows amazon to distribute the items across warehouses and give faster delivery times. Problem comes when another seller claims to sell the same item. They send their fake items in marked as the real thing. They get mixed with all the real ones. Now when an order is placed from legitimate seller it can be filled using fake inventory.
