Yup. I only buy items that are “Shipped and sold by amazon.com” because I know they may mix some inventory and I’m kind of overpaying but it’s a huge quality signal when amazon themselves sells a product.

My information is also not shared with some random seller with terrible security.

Amazon also needs to ban manufactures and sellers that offer review bribes.

Using amazon.com exclusively made Amazon work for me again. I would cancel my account if it was only third party sellers.
