Sold by Official

Sold by Official is a browser extension designed to help shoppers view only products sold directly by major e-commerce retailers, addressing concerns over third-party sellers and the risk of counterfeit or substandard goods. The tool automatically filters out items offered by third-party sellers in search results, allowing users to focus exclusively on products sold by the retailer itself. This can be particularly relevant for categories where product authenticity and quality are crucial, such as personal health items.

The extension supports several prominent e-commerce websites, including Amazon, Newegg, Target, and Walmart, across multiple regions such as Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Users can apply the extension to both Amazon and Newegg in various countries, as well as to Walmart and Target in supported regions. The filter works by modifying the search results so that only retailer-sold products are displayed, for example, showing only items sold by Amazon on Amazon's site.

Sold by Official offers a user interface that allows toggling the filtering function for each retailer website by clicking the extension icon in the browser toolbar. The icon visually indicates whether filtering is active or not, making it easy for users to manage the extension’s functionality as they browse. The tool also allows other shopping filters to be used in conjunction with its own filtering on Amazon, Newegg, and Walmart, providing flexibility for more refined searches.

The extension is available for installation on both Chrome and Firefox browsers. Sold by Official is released as an open source project, with its source code accessible for those interested in examining or contributing to its development. The project is associated with 8 Hobbies, LLC.
