> Amazon makes it harder and harder to do this, de-emphasising the seller in listings. You make me suspect I might be using Amazon wrong. Amazon's search is notoriously bad, but if you know what you want them you can go there and buy it. Just don't do stupid things like buying a 20 dollar item whose cost is 1 dollar price with a 19 dollar shipping fee, or buying weird things from shady sellers who just dropped by out of nowhere. But that's just me. Perhaps I'm using it wrong. Who knows.

An example, just because this is exactly what happened to me recently. Looking for Oral B replacement toothbrush heads. A bunch of bargain off brand alternatives pop up, yeah, I'm skipping right over them for something going inside my mouth. The second non-sponsored result is: "Genuine Original Oral-B Braun Precision Clean Replacement Rechargeable Toothbrush Heads..." $31 for a ten pack. Seems probably about right? But when I click through the full title is: "Genuine Original Oral-B Braun Precision Clean Replacement Rechargeable Toothbrush Heads (10 Count) - International Version, German Packaging" and it's sold by "Wiki Deals". The photos show a package with English labelling, for what it's worth. So I guess these have been imported somehow? Are they legit? What does that mean for FDA approval, I wonder? I don't want to have to consider these things. By contrast when I search Target, the first result (including any promoted stuff): Oral-B Sensitive Gum Care Electric Toothbrush Replacement Brush Head It's a three pack, $21, sold by Target themselves. More and more I'm just going to Target in the first instance and skipping Amazon entirely.
