Don’t you think it could be argued that proudly displaying something is sold by amazon but displaying nothing for 3rd parties would be an antitrust problem?
Also there is text on the page showing you who the item is sold by, and who it ships from.

walmart used to be better about this but now I notice they, and other major retailers are trying to adopt the amazon platform concept.
Sometimes it's easier to just make a list and physically go to a store so I don't need to question whether or not what I'm buying is legit and deal with that stuff.

I bought this exact drone for my nephew and was sorely disappointed by it. I agree with the earlier comments saying that we need to go back to buying from manufacturers in legitimate countries and relying on strong brand names like Sony and the like.
Both Amazon and Walmart are not reliable vendors. Costco does still vet all it's products, I will probably just use them from now on.
If I order from Amazon, from Amazon, I tend to have good experiences. If I order third party from Amazon it’s a crap shoot.
