If it scares you that Amazon can look at Google Street View and know you have a blue door and two maple trees, you have a lifetime of terror ahead of you.
Laugh of the day! Can always count on you to inject some levity!
I love Amazon. For someone who hates to shop, it's a lifesaver. Now, if only they delivered down here. As my cart piles up.
We had a $200 item stolen from a mailbox in CA, and they refunded the money with no question.
We've done tests in other threads on CD with airfares where we would take a few flights and the price remained steady for everyone for days no matter how many clicking and carting or clearing cookies.
Some rare good news re airlines is that lately they don't seem to be doing this upcharge when you check back on the same fare. At least for me. It used to be awful. I'd have to go to the library to use a different computer. But I don't see that happening anymore. I hope it stays that way!
Amazon gives more than reasonable support to customers when dealing with third-party sellers. But they're not Nordstrom, either. They can't be responsible for every product and action sold through them, but they do ban sufficiently problematic sellers.
But if you're going to build your case on points that aren't true ("can't tell who you're buying from") none of that is likely good enough for you.
As both a customer and a seller for almost 20 years, I've had my share of irritations, but can't think of a (genuine) problem on either front that wasn't resolved in at least reasonably good order, if not over-and-above like keeping misshipped items.
Amazon has way too many Chinese sellers now. Unless things have changed, there is no way to filter these sellers out when searching for items unlike on some other sites. Amazon has amazing customer service overall. I have had great product support from them with my many Kindle purchases, the only thing I buy on Amazon with rare exception, but the one time I needed support from a 3rd party Chinese seller, Amazon was no help at all. I ordered a tooth whitening product that unbeknownst to me, came from China and the seller deliberately hit that fact to boost his sales. I wanted a refund, and Amazon did that A to Z dispute process, seller got back to me, only offered me half back, and Amazon closed the case, saying it was an "adequate resolution."

Yes, you can easily filter out 3rd party sellers. It has always been that way.

Go on chat and raise Caine. If you're not satisfied go on chat again, and again.
It took 4 times (I think it was 4) for me to get someone to fix my problem. They did it in a really odd way, but they resolved an issue that the people who answer emails failed to.
