Can you limit Amazon searches to non-marketplace items?

[djheater]

I'm only interested in items I can get free shipping on.... Is there an advanced search option to limit results to just products offered by Amazon?

 

[talyn00]

doesn't the search turn up non-marketplace items? Aren't marketplace items just under the new-used sections??

i don't think you can. i don't see an advanced search option or anything.

I asked this previously but the one suggestion there didn't seem to work well.

Sorry, I'm using "marketplace" loosely to refer to any product that is offered by a third party. If I search for coffee maker

Some are sold by other stores and not avaiable for free shipping
Same product:

Amazon

Not Amazon

Yeah, sorry, for the repost. This is really stupid, I guess they're making enough money on listing these to make up for the loss that must occur from confusing the availabilities...

I wouldn't mind so much if they would include shipping for the affiliates in the listed prices... But the way it's set up right now, it sucks. I don't want to buy from Joe Mom and Pop in Newark who may or may not ship in a timely manner, If I did I'd seek out their website. I want to trust my online transaction to Amazon. Right now I have to pay close attention, which from a marketing standpoint doesn't seem like a good idea.

<-- probably wrong.

NICE! If it works well, I'll nominate your buddy for Elite!

oooh... i HATE getting all the 3rd party results.. I want my free shipping!

I wish they'd have that option too. I had a coupon code for them that only worked on items they sold directly, was a real hassle finding stuff to get since I couldn't exclude all the 3rd-party stuff.

Their automatic coupons also require it to be directly purchased through Amazon, very annoying. :|
