This article finally captured the truth about Amazon - that it’s just eBay, and should be used for the same purchases: things you can’t get anywhere else and things that are impossible to screw up.
Actually with ebay I can more easily trust. Because they don't co-mingle, I know that someone with 100,000 positive reviews on ebay is unlikely to sell a counterfeit. With amazon I don't have that trust, since even if the seller is great, one single bad actor, who isn't the person I'm buying from, could infiltrate the system causing me to get a counterfeit.
Exactly, despite them working on commingling and counterfeits, I’m still super weary of ordering anything cosmetic on Amazon. Like, face serums or moisturizers. I’m weary of rubbing anything on my face that’s from Amazon.
