I've also been annoyed by Amazon lately. I am not sure it has gotten worse over the time, but I am sure that there is a lot of potential for improvement. The product sites are horribly cluttered and often even load slowly (on a 5 year old laptop). The home page is 6 MB in size! The product descriptions are also typically bad and it is often surprisingly difficult to find what you want (e.g. a laptop with specific specs). I always have the feeling there is some dark matter/inventory of things that no one considers, and hence no one writes reviews for, simply because the inventory is so poorly structured and the items have poor descriptions.
- swozey 10y agoYou missed the part where sellers misrepresent sizes on their products, so you expect to order a human sized rack shelf (usually due to misrepresentative pictures) but it's the size of your foot.

- user5994461 10y agoIMO. Amazon marketplace is a disaster. What brought me to use Amazon a long time ago was that they were selling themselves. It was one of the first reputable seller on the internet, that soon sold all kind of stuff. It was much better than buying from a dozen of unknown weird sites (depending on the product) for which I didn't have an account. Now it's mayhem. There is no guarantee who is selling the thing, where it's coming from or what is the product I'm buying BUT everything is advertised as AMAZON.com. I might as well buy stuff on eBay. At least it's clear who's selling.
