Fuckwits. They (well the imported minimum wage Arab) blames the browse= r and don't even know how their own system works. "Earth's Most Custom= er-Centric Company" my arse, I'll stick to Ebay. Hang on, he's telling = me to fix my cache, AND later he's saying he's handed it to the technica= l team. Er.... cut and paste bullshit perchance?

llow me to sort by price until I've selected a category. This is extr emely inconvenient and the sole reason I use Ebay instead.
Who gives a shit? I've had NO problems with amazon.ca and I suppose your UK system is similar. They can't know how your system performs but it is your responsibity to fine-tune your machine. Their advice is valid...follow it. ====
Been an Amazon customer over 10 years and NEVER had a single problem with them or their website. The only folks I've ever heard complain about Amazon are competitors.
Obviously PEBKAC

You paid about as much attention to my complaint as the Arab who replied.
I said "Amazon website does not allow me to sort by price until I've selected a category."
This is NOTHING to do with my setup WHATSOEVER. It's a BASIC FLAW in the Amazon website. You cannot sort by price without selecting a category. On Ebay, I simply type "something" into the search box, then click "sort by price". The cheapest somethings are shown at the top. NOT POSSIBLE in Amazon. USELESS. End of story.
Just try it. Search for something, just type in a keyword into the search box. Now click sort by price. Oh you can't, the option DOES NOT EXIST.
Could you reply in English please?
Why would they deliberately remove this function? The only possible reason I can think of is to lower the server load, but it can't make much difference.
I've given them another earful, maybe I'll get an English speaking representative (doubtful) who can understand me this time. Why do companies think employing Indians is going to get anything achieved?

they chose to make it. It has lost them a fair few sales to ebay & other pl aces.

Sure it makes a difference birdbrain, they want you to see THEIR sort, where they show you certain items from preferred sellers, including stuff they sell THEMSELVES ahead of others.

Good luck with that. IDK about Amazon, but I've had a few discussions with Ebay and they just get very defensive, even when you point out things they have stated incorrectly on their website, that disagrees with what they say somewhere else, etc. They get defensive, argue, etc, instead of just saying, "I see that, it's a valid point, I'll put that into our feedback".
replying to James Wilkinson Sword, Iggy wrote: Oh sorry, if you haven't figured it out yet. They make sure to charge you the most by hiding the cheapest item cost. Not even Prime, Prime Student, Fresh, Family, Smile and Suck Me Members or whatever other STUPIDLY RIDICULOUS "discount programs" of GUARANTEED INCOME get the best prices. They should be boycotted, ridiculed and abandoned to die a painful death. Scumbag money-worshippers robbing you blind as you praise them for doing so is the past, present and future of humanity.
If I can't see what I want, then I won't buy at all, and they 100% lose out.
That's the other thing I hate about Amazon, I can't tell who's selling me the stuff! Is it a private individual? A business? Amazon?
And if you look at the feedback of some sellers, there are some that have about 90% bad feedback and 10% good, yet their accounts are still running. Ebay would have long since closed them.
I tried to sell something on Amazon once, it took me an hour to find their selling fees, which worked out THREE TIMES more than Ebay. I don't know why people sell on there at all.
If you use live chat on Ebay, you can often get somewhere. Mind you, I don't think I've ever had a problem with Ebay itself, only with sellers, and Ebay are happy to help with that.
The only thing Ebay has ever done to annoy me is the recent purchase history change. The whole page is now a mess, you can't see the order dates, you can only see a small selection of what you've bought at once, etc, and everything has become huge and fluffy with less information. The old one worked fine, why change it?
It seems you don't realise that apostrophes are not for making things plural. "Social media's" means things belonging to social media.
You do realize eBay was started by an Iranian, don't you? I wonder why Britain doesn't have more telephone support centers to provide employment to those on the dole? Perhaps they're too stupid to answer the phone or the Indians speak a more understandable form of English. Hell would be a help center staffed by Yorkies.
I've had good luck with Amazon. I received some Photon Microlights that were obvious Chinese ripoffs. I reported them, got a refund, and the seller was gone the next time I looked. Of course, they pop up like mushrooms.
I'd done some research on that. I'd like to thin my library of physical books but all the reports I read indicated selling through Amazon barely broke even. I have bought used books through Amazon that were out of print titles I couldn't otherwise get so somebody must have found a way to profit.
I don't report people on Ebay unless they don't do what I ask. If I get substandard devices, I complain to the seller, who usually panics and gives me all my money back and I get to keep the item. For example LiIon batteries from China are about 20% of the rated capacity (the first thing I do when getting a battery is fully charge and discharge it using a meter). Mind you, Samsung batteries are only 80%. The only LiIons I've found that do what they say on the case are Panasonic.
Ebay is easier and more profitable (lower fees) to sell on. And in the UK at least, there's a wider selection of stuff, so it's where everybody goes.
Having said that I doubt you'll get much for books, the market's flooded. You can get most books for 50p at a car boot sale (or 50c at a garage sale over the pond), so selling them online with postage charges will get you nowhere. Perhaps if you sold boxes of 10 related books?
You forgot to mention the 5% I get back using my Amazon credit card.
I detest all these stupid voucher schemes. Things should just be made cheaper in the first place.
There's a local exchange that gives 25% of the cover price that you can use as credits to buy more books but they're a little sniffy about what they will accept. The library will take them for their book sale rack but they're whining about not having enough space for the books they buy.
I wouldn't mind if they were just popular fiction but most of what I have are academic books that would be of interest to the right people. I don't care about making money on them just don't want to see them go to waste.
On a related note I recently read that it's damn near impossible to give away traditional pianos anymore. There are services that specialize in taking them away but you pay them to make Mom's baby grand disappear.
That gross defect has been fixed on most amazon sites now, including yours.
