Amazon Is Poised to Unleash a Purge of Small Wholesale Suppliers

No. It should hopefully be well known by now that Amazon "commingles" all inventory of a given item. You can never be sure if you'll get a well-made counterfeit on the "marketplace". Even if you PICK WHICH SELLER you get whatever's in the bin that the overworked amazon warehouse sub-sub-sub-contracted employee quickly plucks.

for any anker product i can find on amazon, there is only one seller - ankerdirect - selling on FBA. it's difficult to commingle products when they're all coming from the same seller.

Sellers can choose to not co-mingle, but then they have to put a separate UPC code on the item.

Having done that, can they be sure that another seller won't try to horn in on the new UPC code?
