Default Amazon for components

Purely by accident, I've just discovered that Amazon also "supply" electronic components.

WHY? Because in trying to obtain a range of Panasonic electrolytics, with Ebay, I spent so much time trying to find the parts from a range of suppliers, using the watch list to list them and then for each supplier to order it was a pain.

I tried CPS and Farnell only to find that as a individual buyer my purchase was too small and incurred additional charges and so on.

I say Amazon supply but in fact what they did was to allow me to enter, in this case Panasonic part numbers and, I was offered a range of suppliers. Many I recognised but unlike Ebay, only one basket was needed . Amazon prices were good but most of all, they did the legwork.

Having spent hours looking up the parts in question just to find a supplier, I wonder if other members had a similar experience or know better!
