>If you understand that Amazon is a marketplace and you take 10 seconds to read who you're buying from, it's not a problem.

The thing you're looking for is a single line of text, often in gray color, saying "Amazon" and it's usually below the "Dispatches from Amazon" "Amazon".

Unlike Ebay, Amazon puts zero effort into making sure you know who you are buying from. If you are a first time buyer, you will not look for this one line that tells you, your risk of a scam is closer to 100% than 0%.
