And you tell them which suppliers are good or bad by reviewing your seller.

You’re doing the equivalent of leaving DoorDash a bad review on the App Store because you didn’t like the takeout you ordered.

I mean it’s on DoorDash and you’re charged by DoorDash. As far as you’re concerned DoorDash is responsible for your McNuggets.



It's not comparable. DoorDash makes it abundantly clear who you're buying your food from, that's their whole schtick. I just looked at a few random Amazon losing and I couldn't figure out who I was supposedly buying from.

Perhaps Amazon should let sellers brand their product pages. I just looked at DoorDash Android app and the restaurant name is prominently displayed on each listing in the search results and even includes their logo when I click in.

Amazon is doing their best to hide from me who I'm buying from so I can only assume they want me to think it's them.

Then either you weren't trying very hard or you need to put your glasses on. It's in the same place on every listing that has Add to cart/Buy buttons: under those buttons, after the "Secure transaction" link.


Sorry, the user is always wrong. I couldn't find it because Amazon's UX is infallible.

If I can't find it, and I'm actively looking for it, there' something wrong with the page. It is not obvious like DoorDash is obvious. I don't think you can argue that in good faith.


Is it not next to the Add to Basket button? It is in the UK:

> Dispatched from and sold by <seller>. / Sold by <seller> and Fulfilled by Amazon.

It's also listed at the checkout screen for each item:

> Items dispatched from (Amazon EU Sàrl or <seller>) / Sold by:(Amazon EU S.a.r.L. or <seller)


Well now that you told me, I found the 12pt text that is the same color as the hundreds of other links on the page. But when I looked, trying to find it, I could not.
