This is what keeps me going to physical stores for certain goods: they’re liable for counterfeits.
This. Newegg has similarly taught me to select only Newegg as the retailer when doing searches.

That would not guarantee you receive a product procured and vetted by Newegg because Newegg commingles per my reading of section 4.1:
https://www.newegg.com/promotions/marketplace/sbn/doc/Agreem...
>We will not be required to physically mark or segregate Units from other inventory units (e.g., products with the same standard identification number) owned by us, our affiliates or third parties in the applicable fulfillment center(s).
Amazon has taught me to go out of my way to buy directly from manufacturer or a reputable retailer that doesn't offer third party sellers on their website.
I don't want to save 10%, 20%, even 50% to risk any chance of getting some counterfeit crap. Hopefully, there will be sufficient customers like me to make it economical to offer quality, vetted goods at whatever price it takes. Sadly, I see even target.com now allows third party sellers.
I wouldn't care about third party sellers if the retailer explicitly mentioned they don't commingle and allowed me to restrict all of my searches to items procured, shipped, and sold directly by the retailer.
