lol, fair question.

Yes I do. In general, the convenience is too nice.

If you're specifically worried about health issues:

- The Pharmacy features are pretty locked down (but nothing is perfect). I wouldn't buy pills from a rando 3p seller, or even "Sold by Amazon" tho.

- For other health related products (like creams, kitchen stuff, clothes or other things that are on me), I just check that the Brand is the listed seller and no other sellers exist on the product.

- For non-health related products (shower curtains, garden hose, etc) I don't really care if it is "not perfect" in terms of quality, etc.

Meanwhile, if you're buying products where the Brand=ZFDSC or any other character salad - you should expect whatever you get. I still have purchased them (e.g. a sticker that makes my windows look like stained glass - I don't care that its cheap garbage from China - it looks good and unlikely to be bad enough to kill me at that distance), but certainly would not buy those Brands' expecting lasting quality.
