Lately, Iโve really been paying attention to prices on Amazon, and something feels off compared to how it used to be. Items that I remember being cheap are now equal to or even higher than what I see in stores. It makes me wonder if inflation is the only reason, or if third-party sellers are taking advantage of the platform. I used to trust Amazon as the cheapest option without thinking twice, but now Iโm constantly comparing prices before buying anything.

Youโre definitely not the only one noticing this shift. Iโve had multiple moments where I added something to my cart on Amazon, then randomly checked another store and found it cheaper. It feels like Amazon isnโt focused on being the lowest price anymore, but more on convenience. Third-party sellers seem to play a big role too, since they can set their own prices. Now I treat Amazon like one of several options instead of my automatic go-to like I used to.
