Don't rely solely on the seller for guidance.
Otherwise you could be wasting your money on a glorified extension cord that's potentially unsafe to use!
Ultimately, this site needs money to function. This is just one of the ways they raise money. You should be glad the third party Amazon posts are so easy to spot - there are far sneakier things going on behind the scenes. If you treat everything on this site as an advertisement (they are) and scrutinize each post you're interested in, you can sniff out the good deals from the bad easily.
They already get revenue from referral purchases. Pushing stuff like this to the top without letting people know outright it's a promoted deal is shady.
So you're saying we should develop our own deals site without all the bullshit. I'm down.
To me, it's pretty obvious what they're stating here. You can also read similar disclosures under the "legal" section. Check out SD's advertising opportunities page, it should make the whole picture even clearer for you.
Now, if your (poor) understanding of their disclosures is common with others as you think, it sounds like a very strong case for the FTC.
Even so, what does it matter? If a product/service is good and I'm getting a discount, I don't care who or where the code/discount comes from. The reviews are what you really need to be careful about.

Good luck finding mass marketed/lower priced electronics NOT produced and/or sold by companies without similar addresses!😄
Paying a little more for quality and by trusted brands is usually a better idea.
What exactly are you getting at here? You don't like to buy things if the people running the information medium are incentivized to show it?
I'm happy for SD to make money otherwise it wouldn't exist. My only request was that it be clarified if this is a sponsored post where SD staff was incentivized to post it, or if it was an organic discovery of a deal. If it weren't important to distinguish between personal recommendations and paid promotions there wouldn't be numerous examples of this practice, like on Youtube where videos must include if they contain paid promotions, or even here on SD when posts that make it to the front page are marked as "PROMOTED".

Many posts on Slickdeals are submitted by non-staff users. Many posts are specifically ads and promoted placements, which will include an advertiser or sponsored label (such as banking and credit card offers). We understand every link is converted to an affiliate link.
But deals like this one, which was posted by staff as a standard post, appears to be promoting a code and item that the company incentivized high placement on like an ad. Yet it didn't receive votes OR the sponsor labels that the official card ads get. Instead, it is shady and looks like a popular community find post in most ways. Staff should clarify if the item is promoted by Slickdeals, since many deals on here are otherwise voted up organically. They should label every post they've given a sponsored boost to, but they don't.
It's like this forum have some kind of affection with surge protectors.
