Over the last year or two I have noticed that a bit more care and scrutiny needs to be put in to a seller and product review before I make my one click purchase. Overall I do think they would get more out of me as a consumer if the market place was a bit more locked down. In some ways it's starting to look like ebay or aliexpress

I only got hit by that recently. A few of items in my "Save for later" list dropped price one day early this month. I purchased them on a whim one day without thinking too hard...one item was successfully shipped to a totally different state. Another 2 were listed with 3-4 day shipping estimates but were given chinese tracking numbers many days after they were supposed to arrive with no status updates or seller communication. One just got an update 2 weeks after initial delivery date...the one amazon put a pay hold on. I'm guessing best case its a wrong/counterfeit item. The other 2 have alreay been refunded by amazon.
