What they want and were sold is a working fuse... which this is not. If I starting calling myself a medical doctor and advertising cheap surgery I would hope someone would try to stop me.

You can't claim to be empathetic and expect everyone to be a domain expert in absolutely everything to avoid getting poisoned, burned or killed by sellers lying to people.

You do not need to be a domain expert to understand that fuses sold with a per-unit cost of 4¢ are barely better than paper clips in a plastic housing.

Paper clips sold on Amazon cost 1.3¢ each. https://a.co/d/28pCOQ2

Edit: and I am unassailably certain that those paper clips are really bad paper clips.
