How to Avoid Scams and Sketchy Products on Amazon (2026)

如何在亚马逊上避开诈骗和劣质产品（2026版）

You can find anything on Amazon—plus hundreds or thousands of versions of that thing. If its virtual shelves were translated into a brick-and-mortar storefront, it would probably be the most overstimulating space in the world. Take power banks, for example. Search “power bank” on Amazon and you’ll get more than 50,000 results, ranging from well-known brands like Anker and Jackery to obscure brand names with zero product reviews. There are hundreds and hundreds of companies and sellers to sift through, with varying capacities, port options, and charging speeds on offer.

在亚马逊上，你可以找到任何东西——而且每种商品都有成百上千个版本。如果把它的虚拟货架变成实体店，那大概会是世界上最让人眼花缭乱的地方。以充电宝为例，在亚马逊上搜索“power bank”，你会得到超过 50,000 个搜索结果，从 Anker 和 Jackery 等知名品牌，到没有任何产品评论的不知名品牌应有尽有。你需要从成百上千家公司和卖家提供的不同容量、接口选项和充电速度的产品中进行筛选。

So how do you know which brands are high-quality? Which listings are legitimate? What’s a good price to pay? Are any of these power banks actually on sale and worth buying, or are the discounts fake?

那么，你该如何判断哪些品牌质量高？哪些商品页面是合法的？什么样的价格才合理？这些充电宝是真的在打折且值得购买，还是虚假的折扣？

It’s remarkably easy to sell products on Amazon (as evidenced by its millions of sellers). That means there are plenty of subpar product listings that come from sketchy sellers—often with gibberish names or multiple sellers that are using the same photos and claiming to sell the same product. While many items on Amazon are safe and legitimate, you do need to be aware of the risks when you’re shopping. The site has problems with fake reviews and counterfeit items. Amazon has fairly good return policies, including an A-to-Z guarantee for items sold by third parties, but ideally you want to avoid having to deal with a return in the first place.

在亚马逊上销售产品非常容易（从其数百万卖家数量可见一斑）。这意味着存在大量来自可疑卖家的劣质商品页面——它们通常使用乱码名称，或者多个卖家使用相同的照片并声称销售同一产品。虽然亚马逊上的许多商品是安全且合法的，但你在购物时确实需要意识到潜在风险。该网站存在虚假评论和假冒商品的问题。亚马逊拥有相当不错的退货政策，包括针对第三方卖家商品的“A-to-Z”担保，但理想情况下，你最好从一开始就避免处理退货问题。

Buy Direct

直接购买

When possible, you should buy items directly from Amazon. Amazon keeps a better eye on its own inventory than it does on items sold by third-party sellers. Items it sells directly are more likely to arrive as advertised and qualify for free two-day Prime shipping. Because Amazon manages everything, returns are usually painless. Sometimes you can even get refunds for defective items without having to return them at all.

如果可能的话，你应该直接从亚马逊购买商品。相比第三方卖家销售的商品，亚马逊对自己库存的监管更为严格。由亚马逊直接销售的商品更有可能与广告描述相符，并符合 Prime 会员免费两日送达的条件。由于一切由亚马逊管理，退货通常非常省心。有时，你甚至可以在无需退货的情况下获得缺陷商品的退款。

If you’re already checking out a product on Amazon, like our favorite iPad, always make sure the seller info says “Ships from and sold by Amazon.com.” This information is typically in one of two places. Either it’s under the red price (and green “In Stock” text) or under the yellow Add to Cart and orange Buy Now buttons on the right rail. It’s also under those buttons on the Amazon app.

如果你正在查看亚马逊上的某款产品（比如我们最推荐的 iPad），请务必确认卖家信息显示为“Ships from and sold by Amazon.com”（由 Amazon.com 发货并销售）。此信息通常位于两个位置之一：要么在红色价格（和绿色“In Stock”库存状态）下方，要么在右侧栏黄色“Add to Cart”（加入购物车）和橙色“Buy Now”（立即购买）按钮下方。在亚马逊 App 上，它也位于这些按钮下方。

How to Only See Items Sold by Amazon.com

如何只查看由 Amazon.com 销售的商品

If you’re browsing through Amazon listings, filter the site’s search results to only show items sold by Amazon.com. Buying an item sold and shipped by Amazon generally makes delivery and customer-service inquiries more straightforward. However, it does not guarantee that the product is high-quality or authentic, so you should still investigate the brand and listing.

如果你正在浏览亚马逊的商品列表，可以筛选搜索结果，只显示由 Amazon.com 销售的商品。购买由亚马逊销售和配送的商品通常会让配送和售后咨询变得更简单。然而，这并不能保证产品质量高或为正品，因此你仍需调查品牌和商品页面。

Step 1: Search for a particular item in Amazon’s search box with the category set to “All.” In this case, I searched for “Pixel 10a.” Step 2: Amazon’s search should select the right department automatically, but if needed, you can navigate to the menu on the left and click on a department that fits. Step 3: Once the page refreshes, scroll to the bottom of the left rail and choose “Amazon.com” as your seller. Step 4: Now you will only see “Pixel 10a” products sold directly by Amazon.com.

第一步：在亚马逊搜索框中搜索特定商品，并将类别设置为“All”（全部）。在本例中，我搜索了“Pixel 10a”。第二步：亚马逊的搜索功能通常会自动选择正确的分类，但如果需要，你可以导航到左侧菜单并点击合适的分类。第三步：页面刷新后，滚动到左侧栏底部，选择“Amazon.com”作为卖家。第四步：现在你只会看到由 Amazon.com 直接销售的“Pixel 10a”产品。

Avoid Fake Discounts

避开虚假折扣

Seeing a product we want on sale can trigger a wave of excitement. Instead of thinking about how much we’re spending, we start to think about how much we’re saving. Coupons and discounts exist because they create a sense of urgency, leading us to buy things we normally wouldn’t. Some sellers abuse that pricing power. There are a lot of products on Amazon that are endlessly “on sale,” and this makes it difficult to know whether you’re getting an actual bargain.

看到心仪的产品打折会让人兴奋不已。我们不再考虑花了多少钱，而是开始想省了多少钱。优惠券和折扣的存在是为了制造紧迫感，诱导我们购买平时不会买的东西。一些卖家滥用了这种定价权。亚马逊上有许多产品处于“无限期打折”状态，这让你很难判断自己是否真的捡到了便宜。

There’s an easy way to check. Just copy the URL or ASIN and paste it into CamelCamelCamel. You’ll get a page with a graph on it showing every price fluctuation in the past year. A lot of products have deceptive list prices, to varying degrees. Knowing the actual going rate for a product puts you in charge.

有一个简单的检查方法：只需复制 URL 或 ASIN 码并粘贴到 CamelCamelCamel 网站中。你会得到一个图表页面，显示过去一年中该商品的所有价格波动。许多产品都存在不同程度的虚假标价。了解产品的实际市场价格能让你掌握主动权。
