Is amazon not a good supplier anymore? I still order stuff from them occasionally and always get what I need.

There is very little quality control. Amazon mixes supply from different sellers, so bad actors often supply garbage into legitimate listings.

No. They do nothing to vet the sellers or product they are shipping.

Amazon is a platform for different kinds of vendors. Of course there's the scam artists who do the bait-and-switch.
