> Ebay has seller reviews, and I know who the seller actually is.

So does Amazon, when fulfilled by the seller, which many are. They're exactly the same in this regard.

Amazon commingles inventory with the same SKU. You can choose a legit manufacturer, and they get credit for the sale, but you could still receive a counterfeit item that was actually stocked by some scammer. (Later someone may choose to buy from the scammer and get a genuine item by mistake.)
