Amazon is an online marketplace, which means you’re going to come across products offered by various sellers, including third-party vendors. While many third-party sellers are reliable and offer genuine products, some may try to pass off counterfeit goods as original products.
If you want to be assured of a quality product, it’s best only to purchase goods shipped and sold by Amazon. To verify the seller details, navigate to the section under the “Add to Cart” and “Buy Now” buttons and check whether it says “Ships from Amazon” and “Sold by Amazon.”
If you want to save time and avoid having to sift through search results that include products from third-party sellers, you can make use of Amazon’s filters. This will cut out irrelevant product listings and only list Amazon-fulfilled goods.
Another way to find authentic products is by shopping directly from an authorized seller on Amazon. In this case, you’ll see that the product listing specifies “Sold by (brand’s name)” instead of Amazon.
In this case, you’ll need to make sure that the brand’s name is the same as the seller’s name indicated in the product listing. This detail often means that you’re purchasing directly from the brand’s official storefront on Amazon.
