When you’re shopping on Amazon, it’s important to be aware of the third-party sellers who sell products through the site. These sellers may not have the same level of customer service or quality control as Amazon, and they may not have the same warranty or return policy. If you’re buying a product from a third-party seller, it’s important to do your research and make sure that you’re getting a good deal. Here are some tips to help you determine if you should buy from a third-party seller:

  1. Check the seller’s reputation. Make sure that the seller has positive reviews and is known for being reliable.
  2. Look at the product images. Make sure that the images look accurate and that there are no errors in the text or images.
  3. Check the shipping information. Make sure that the shipping information is correct and that there are no delays in shipping.
  4. Look at customer service ratings. Make sure to read customer reviews to see if they seem happy with their experience with the seller.

Don’t Confuse the Brand Name with the Seller Name

On a product page, look in the area just below the “Add to Cart” and “Buy Now” buttons. There, you’ll see two lines that say “Ships from” and “Sold by.” If the item is sold by a third-party seller, its name will be listed here in the “Sold by” area.

If a product is both shipped from and sold by a third-party, it will say that in this same area, as shown below.

If a product is both sold by and shipped from a third-party, you’ll see a message like “Ships from and sold by [company name].”
