One of the things i have suggested several times to Amazon is the ability to filter out 3rd Party sellers completely.
I want to search Amazon items. Too many 3rd Party sellers selling wrong items or wrong versions, bootlegs, open items as new, import items listed as US. Yes they will return it or refund, but that is irrelevant. The only things I tend to buy from 3rd Party sellers are items generally sold by companies selling their own items or rarely an OOP item that can't be obtained elsewhere. At least on Ebay I can filter out those sellers using stock pictures which for most non-businesses is almost always a red flag for 'something wrong/bootleg/hiding something'
