This doesn't seem to solve the main problem I have with Amazon: even when I know exactly what I want, it's impossible to find. Amazon hides the thing you want behind the items they want you to buy instead, and they allow fakes and spammers to flourish. They never have the right aspects in their search filters, either. Looks like Google is the same way. I can't find an A19 LED light bulb with 2700K color temperature a…

Yes. Unless you pay in person with cash, your purchase data will be brokered.
I still want a way to pay with "cash" over the internet, e.g. a prepaid card which I can buy with cash and isn't tied to any person's name or address.
I think someone mentioned "burner" cards a while back.
So many questions... the big one: How does Google make money from this?

What is happening with AMP ? The pages load faster. They made it clear they will reward page load times in ranking. They have made no such shopping related claim here.
Implement AMP and get rewarded with a carousel position (ie. better rankings). Implement a faster-than-amp experience using plain HTML+CSS and get... at worst: nothing. At best: you'll get up-ranked slightly. But, no matter how much faster (or better) your page, you will never, ever, be above, or in the carousel. How do you consider that "baseless"? It's obvious that Google rewards sites that do things the way it dic…
Read what you write please.
I would assume that the current results indicate that their commissions are either loss making after all the value add services they are providing like customer service/ returns, or the amount they bring in is so small that it isn't worth having them there as a roadblock to adoption.
This is what happens when you kill third party cookies. The signals have tremendous value, so networks will move them into first party activities . Expect further consolidation

I've noticed a trend lately where items will "ship from the US" with an estimated 2-3 day delivery date only to be delayed at the sender, eventually "ship" a month later, and arrive with international postage a few days afterward. I'd love to filter that kind of crap out as well, but I'm not sure how Amazon could go about actually implementing it.

This tells us that Google isn't charging, but not what else you need to set up and how much they charge. That part seems pretty opaque.

I am a happy customer of this vendor. I bought all the misdescribed hard to find stuff on amazon first... what worked at all failed quickly. The yuji stuff seems a little pricey, but factoring in defect rate it isn't.
Mostly I've purchased 2700k high density strip (now probably several grand worth), but I've also bought a few cases of a19 bulbs and am also very happy with them.

I think the EU requires Amazon to list the seller's country of residence.
