Is the Amazon Search by Seller Filter Missing for Anyone Else?

I do a lot of shopping on Amazon and as of this past week, the search by seller filter is gone.

I only buy ships and sold by Amazon products and can no longer filter these items. Trying to find anything on the app now that isn't some crazy name brand Chinese junk is next to impossible.

Thought it was just me, but I can't filter by Amazon either. Amazon basically looks like AliExpress these days. I'm about to cancel Prime

Doesn't the "Amazon Prime" filter do what you are looking for. I still see that on my account.

Not OP, but Prime doesn't mean just Amazon anymore. Practically everything is Prime nowadays. I think 3rd party sellers can now warehouse their Chinese crap with Amazon.

That has been for at least 10 years now, maybe more. I take it you are looking for items "sold" by Amazon and not just shipped by Amazon. I am not sure what the advantage there is. Amazon sells a lot of Chinese stuff and has forever, the shipped by Amazon gives you all the normal ease of returns. If you are looking for a branded item then just search by the brand name.

I get there are a lot of options that are Chinese "no names" so I suppose that is what you are trying to filter out. I don't buy Chinese-made goods if at all possible, when I search for some generic item on Amazon I just filter from high to low on price which tends to kick the higher quality non-Chinese-made items to the top. Maybe it is just me but while I see a bunch of crap from the no-names I never have to spend more than a minute getting to the items I actually want.

Here’s the thing - the no-name products that cost $5 are made on the same line that the $30 brand is.

I'm mostly looking for sold by Amazon stuff as it cuts down on counterfeit crap and old used items being sold as new etc
