Ironically this was a key differentiator that worked in favour of Amazon against EBay all those years ago.
Amazon went against the tide and introduced "Single Detail Page". An SKU was supposed to get exactly one page no matter how many sellers were selling them. That way customers would be assured of buying the right product they searched for.
As a customer, it's sad to see that principle being obliterated. Their catalog has become a cesspool of all sorts of knockoffs and fraudulent sellers.
So now we are back to square one hoping someone would do to Amazon what Amazon did to Ebay.
