>Don't buy 3rd party products sold on Amazon. I always tell people this. They ignore me and then stories like yours pop up.

So buy Amazon Basics and nothing else?

Also I tried to avoid buying from third party sellers but the Amazon website is so deceptive that you are bound to buy something from a third party seller at some point. There is obviously no option to hide third party sellers because that would solve the problem and Amazon's opinion is the problem shouldn't be solved.
