A tool purchased from electrical warehouses

Hello, a utensil made by a Gentile and I bought it from an Israeli store, why does it need to be immersed? Doesn’t that count as me buying it from a Jew?
If I bought a vessel and regretted it and sold it to another Jew, why does he need to immerse it if it has already left the Gentile’s possession?

I saw this explanation here:

But simply speaking, it is customary to immerse, and the explanation seems to me that the vessel was required to be immersed by the first Jew, and in any case its obligation remained until it was immersed.
