Amazon is a mucky mess of ads, unknown sellers, misleading sales, and specious information. Defend your dollars with these tips and tricks on Amazon Prime Day.

I don’t need a bag of dog bones made of yak cheese right now. But, if I did, I would feel overwhelmed. Which brands are high quality? Which listings are legitimate? What’s a good price to pay? Are these yak cheese dog chews actually a good deal on Amazon Prime Day or is it a fake deal? These days, almost anyone can sell items on Amazon in five easy steps. The site hosts millions of sellers, making it more like eBay than Target.

To start, browse through the Customer Questions. You can use the search box above them to scan questions and reviews for key words that may indicate issues with a product, like 'break,” “bad,” “defective,” “customer service,” or 'return.' Amazon has also implemented an AI-generated summary of reviews on most product pages, but take these with a grain of salt.
