Good ruling!

This is good for consumers, so I like it[1].Amazon has been able to exploit this asymmetry it enjoys compared to Wal*Mart, so I think this bring them to an even playing field with regard to that.

I’d be happy if they simply stopped commingling inventory.

[1]I guess they could argue the "Platform" angle, but I'm not sure that would hold water for them.

I hope they do. That might put pressure on other "platform"s to better police themselves.

Walmart is pulling the same crap on their website now, too. Tons of products lists sold by junk third party sellers.

I get so frustrated every time I forget to add the "available in store" filter while searching. The results are useless otherwise.

I would love to find a browser extension that set this type of option for you on various sites, or at the very least alerted you when you forgot to.
