There's also products such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Schlage-FE599NX-CAM-619-ACC/dp/B0083GJ... This has the option for a single product from Amazon, or a "2 pack" for a $100 surcharge from some random supplier. This is on MOST products from Amazon and a real pain in the ass to avoid. I hate that Amazon allows this crap which is basically spam. I would be willing to bet that the supplier simply orders 2 of these products from Amazon after the purchase, then ships them out to you and makes $100. It offers zero benefit to Amazon's customers, but it's a rampant issue. There's also the companies with names such as "Prime inc." which are just trying to trick people. They probably make the most money off of assistants or employees who are asked to purchase a product and don't really look at the prices or shipping. Imagine this scenario: I send the link above to one of my family members saying this is the product they need for their doors. They see 2-pack and immediately click it and continue through the checkout process, because I had told them this was the best value product and I had done the research for them. A query parameter such as (?only_show_amazon=true) would help the issue, or better yet would be a permanent setting, but Amazon doesn't see the problem with allowing these sellers or products. Maybe utilizing the Amazon API and creating a website to avoid this would be a solution.

What's notable about two of those cases is that they're about frustrating the power of the electorate.
