My technique to avoid fraudulent products on Amazon: click on the seller ("Sold by mucaoxikeji") which reveals... "No feedback yet - NEW SELLER" Done ! Only took 2 seconds. It's very simple: I never buy from new sellers, or from those with too few reviews (<100). You do this and honestly you avoid 99% of fraudulent products. The 1% that can hit you is cases where for example counterfeit items end up in commingled inventory, which is quite rare in my personal experience. It happened only twice—that I know of—despite spending easily $20-30k/year at Amazon.
- toomanyusers 4y agoDoes Amazon have a policy guaranteeing it won't ship items sourced from commingled inventory with its sellers when you purchase "Ships by and Sold by Amazon.com"? I heard that you can get items from random small sellers (including counterfeit items and used items being packaged as new) even when you think you are purchasing only from Amazon. I haven't bought anything on Amazon since.
- mrb 4y agoI don't know. Some claim that up until 3 years ago, Amazon was still commingling their own inventory, but they have stopped since then. However I can't find any authoritative source to confirm this.
