Step 2:<\/strong> Amazon’s search should choose the right Department automatically, but if needed, you can navigate to the top of the left rail and click on a Department that fits.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Once the page refreshes, scroll to the bottom of the left rail and choose “Amazon.com” as your Seller.<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Now you will only see “Pixel 8A” products sold directly by Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

If you still don’t see “Amazon.com” as a seller, try hitting the<\/strong> “See More” button<\/strong>. It will bring up a dense but readable alphabetical page of sellers. If Amazon is one of those sellers, it will show up in the list. You can use CTRL+F (Command+F on Mac) to search for the word “Amazon.com.” Sometimes you’ll see “Amazon Warehouse,” but that only sells used and refurbished items.<\/p>\n

Avoid Fake Discounts<\/h2>\n

When people see that a product they like is on sale, a little wave of excitement washes over them. Instead of thinking about how much we\u2019re spending, we start to think about how much we\u2019re saving. Coupons and discounts exist because they create a sense of urgency that causes many people to buy things they normally wouldn\u2019t. Some sellers abuse that pricing power. There are a lot of products on Amazon that are endlessly on “sale” and that makes it hard to know if you\u2019re getting an actual bargain.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there\u2019s an easy way to check. Just copy the URL and paste it into CamelCamelCamel<\/strong><\/a>. You’ll get a page with a graph on it showing every price fluctuation in the past year. A lot of products have deceptive sale prices like this, to varying degrees. Knowing what the actual going rate is for a product puts you in charge.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, the Keepa extension for Chrome<\/strong><\/a> will add a similar box right into Amazon.com pages for you, though it does try and get you to register for free, and it might slow your browsing down.<\/p>\n
