No. Amazon is pushing smaller sellers into their marketplace platform which is ride with counterfeits, thieves, and garbage products with fake reviews purchased on Facebook. My wife and I stopped going to Amazon because product quality started getting so bad. It's to the point that I trust Alibaba or eBay over Amazon, which is a shame. I suspect there's a lot of less vocal people in the same boat who've started exploring other merchants.
Yep, I have been alot of stuff from Aliexpress lately because you can find sellers that are quite reputable and actually support their shit somewhat. Amazon? You find people reselling shit from Alibaba and not caring a thing about it.
No? It says Amazon is cutting back on the "Sold by Amazon.com" items and pushing those items onto the marketplace, and only sticking to directly selling items from large manufacturers.
