Like when you search for an item and hit "sort" by price....instead of actually sorting Amazon's items by price, they sort by third party seller's prices, which they'll make $.01 somehow and you can't actually ever just look at Amazon products. It's very annoying to have to double and triple check that you are buying from Amazon and not a third party who will charge you for shipping.
