No I'm not buying anything, I just had a look. I thought I'd look for a WD Blue 2TB hard drive.

Even with Amazon selected as the seller some things are under "WD" and others are under "Western Digital". There's a typo on the HDD installation page (data transfer by whoever the hell does it is limited to 500 GB BTW). Product descriptions even on Amazon's own product pages are weird and seemingly partly manually typed (this HDD is in the "Unisex-adult" department. It requires "1 A batteries" and the write speed is 1).

Up to a few years ago it would sort prices incorrectly (£23 more expensive than £123). Last time I looked sorting by price seemed to just throw up a random order but it looks like they might have fixed that now?

There are so many other things too. It's such a damn mess, it's horrible, the shittiness is endless. And people enjoy shopping there!?

I guess they treat the people who run their website like they do their other employees.

    I had to make an Amazon account a million years ago so I could search it for the weirdest possible shit with a bunch of other dickheads on an internet forum. The two most notable we found was a circumcision practice kit with a socket where you could put replaceable baby dicks with foreskins you could practice snipping. The other one was wolf milk, for raising wolf pups. This was back in like 2005. Years later I went to Amazon so I could mail some Christmas gifts to my little brother who was at college. I recover my account because I still had the same email and lo and behold it was like "hey last time you were here you were browsing this Mohel Practice Kit and Wolf Milk, you need any of those things today, almost a decade later?"
