    They removed how many ratings the product has received. So a 4.5 star rating from 100,000 people means that a good few people had issues or didn’t like it

    A 4.5 star rating from 3 people makes you suspicious of the seller

      losing the view-at-a-glance quantity of reviews was really annoying when i had to shop for some things last week.

      ended up chasing me to newegg for the first time in forever. was done in 5 minutes (including running to a different pc and booting it up, to complete an unexpected 2fa), and no iffy marketplace sellers getting in the way. got exactly what i was looking for from who i wanted to buy from (the site, not a third party). a split shipment all delivered in 2 days to the boonies, cheaper and faster than amazon.

      the difference in experience sent me back to newegg–this time as the first choice, for a little part order i would have normally got from whatever highly-reviewed amazon marketplace seller was cheapest.
