The filter by "Sold By Amazon" trick has stopped working
Hiya
Until a few days ago, you could filter your view on Amazon web pages to see only "Sold By Amazon" products (do a search, select prime only, go to filter, choose a category, then you could choose Seller: Amazon.co.uk )
This trick stopped working (for me) a few days ago. The "Seller" filter option seems to have disappeared?

Just add this bookmarklet link to your bookmarks as if it were URL.
To use it you do the usual search on Amazon like usual, select a category, then click this bookmarklet. Sorted, you're now only viewing Sold By Amazon stuff.
NOTE: On Chrome for mobile you CAN'T activate it by going to the Chrome menu, selecting Bookmarks, etc. Instead you MUST select it by searching for its name in the address bar, and then clicking on the result. I've called mine SBA to make it extra easy to search for.
Anyone reading this, let me know if this works for you or not, as it might be that this site messes up the characters of the JavaScript?

- Anyone else seeing the same issue?
- Does anyone know a new workaround?

sorted byIn other words it still works, they've just removed the front end selection.
The seller filter would only show when viewing a category. So if you run a search for say Coca Cola and then select the Fizzy Drinks category you'll end up with a URL that looks like this (I replaced dots with underscores to stop the website showing as a shortened URL) https://www_amazon_co_uk/s?k=coca+cola&rh=n%3A359906031&ref=sr_nr_n_1
You might have some additional stuff in there too.
The bit we're interested in is the 'rh' part. You will see in your URL '&rh=n' and then some numbers. Those numbers represent the category you're viewing. Follow those numbers until you get to an & symbol.
Before the & symbol add this %2Cp_6%3AA3P5ROKL5A1OLE
So the Coca Cola URL would become https://www_amazon_co_uk/s?k=coca+cola&rh=n%3A359906031%2Cp_6%3AA3P5ROKL5A1OLE&ref=sr_nr_n_1
You're now viewing only Amazon UK sold products, we've gone from 270-odd to 20-odd results. (edited)
Just add this bit of JavaScript to your bookmarks as if it were URL-
javascript:(function(){window.location=window.location.href.replace(/(&rh=n[^&]*)(.*)/, '$1%2Cp_6%3AA3P5ROKL5A1OLE$2');})()
To use it you do the usual search on Amazon like usual, select a category, then click this bookmarklet. Sorted!

Let me know if this works for you folks, as it might be that this site messes up the characters of the JavaScript above!
