I have to go to other sites and find the actual products and then search directly on amazon. It won’t be long before I just stop using amazon altogether.
I also like that they close the purchase feature for Shabbat. That feels nice, like a personal touch to an anonymous website.
Crazy idea: skip that step, buy somewhere else
Finding a reputable online retailer, with customer service, competitive pricing, and fast delivery that has your product in stock is hard. Managing a list of niche retailers that meet those requirements, one for electronics, one for home goods, one for furniture, etc. etc. is not something people want to do. Convenience drives behavior, and until there's an aggregator that does a good enough job (Google shopping or whatever isn't it), convenience will still drive people to Amazon.
Maybe five years ago. Not now
No need to cover Canada, the EU, and other regions that Amazon supports. US only is fine.
Every shop I used to shop at has an e-commerce presence
Some are just getting used to it, but most are great
