We have a couple of online retailers in the UK (John Lewis, Argos) where you can search for a product and get maybe 20 - 30 results, mainly leading brands and some own-brand versions. It's a much better experience, however, you often find many of these items are sold out or not available in the colour (for example) that you want - which is frustrating.
Amazon always seem to have stock of the same thing in addition to multiple knock-offs and me-too versions. No surprises they get most of the business.
- dathinab 5y agoworse even if you explicitly type in a product name you not only still get the knock-offs you might also get them listed before the product you searched for without any "similar results" indication and without it often being "obvious on the first look" that it is a knock-off. I don't want to know how many people accidentally under time pressure ended up buying the wrong thing, or parents not very familiar with a product accidentally buying the wrong present etc.
