Same for me, after way too many fakes, i have been reducing my Amazon spend by a lot in last two years and moving purchasing to places like Walmart (non-marketplace) for random items, HomeDepot for home stuff and B&H for trusted electronics (don’t even let it cross your mind to buy an SD card from Amazon!)

When I eliminated Amazon from my life, I replaced it with with first checking if I can find what I want from a local on-prem business. If so, I buy it there. If not, then I see if I can buy it directly from the manufacturer's website. 80% of the time, I can (often with free shipping). If that fails, then I check a small number of resellers that I trust. This mostly tends to be electronic components, so I'm talking places like Digikey. If that fails, then it's off to the classifieds and eBay. Those bring many of the same problems as Amazon, but I very rarely have to go that far.
