- Someone1234 9y agoThey do. - Search - Pick a category - Select "Amazon.com" as the seller
- minedwiz 9y agoDoes that also filter out stuff sold by vendors, but fulfilled by Amazon?
- Someone1234 9y agoIt is only items sold by Amazon.com, so yes.
- x0x0 9y agoStill doesn't matter. For FBA stuff, they mix items in their warehouses. So even if you buy from Amazon, you can receive an item out of the FBA program. Thus you have no idea if it's the real deal or a knockoff sent from who-knows. edit: That wasn't clear. Try two: Inventory submitted by FBA vendors is commingled with Amazon inventory in Amazon's warehouses. When you, a sucker, buys it, you have zero control over whether the widget you get was purchased by Amazon from the manufacturer or sent to Amazon by Billy Bob's Sellin' Totally Not Fake Shit Shack, which definitely got it from the manufacturer, not the bottom price on Alibaba. This is true even if you buy from Amazon and not an FBA vendor.
- JonathonW 9y agoSometimes. IME it seems kind of random as to when you can filter by seller and when you can't. You can fairly consistently filter by Prime/non-Prime, but that's not the same (that filters down to things fulfilled by Amazon, but not just sold by Amazon).
- fujiters 9y agoBut they mix inventory in their warehouses, so they are just as likely to ship out an item sent to them for Fulfillment by Amazon by another merchant as the are to ship an item they actually procured. I think mixed inventory is the heart of their problem.
