So are all these people who say they are buying from Amazon actually buying from 3rd party sellers on Amazon? I'm always confused by these stories with used items being delivered.

Its all the same, you search for something on Amazon, find it, and buy. Not obvious if it is a 3rd party seller or no. It feels like all the same thing.

You can see on the right side of the screen who the seller is though? It is annoying there isn't a proper filter but you can kind of use the qualified for free shipping filter to filter out third parties.

You can. I can. But how many people do, and how many just flick through on their phone and click "Buy now" without really looking?
