amazon fulfillent for eBay orders
Anybody besides me wondering why things we buy from eBay come in amazon packaging via USPS or UPS and/or an amazon truck?
That seems to be happening more and more.
Happened today, again.
If I wanted to buy from amazon, I would go there.
I buy from eBay to NOT buy from amazon.

Mentor1 year agoIt may not be possible to always identify in advance those users who drop ship, but it is possible to identify some common characteristics of illicit retail drop shippers or other under-performing sellers, and thus avoid the worst of them.
Often they can be spotted by a combination of low feedback number, free shipping of heavy items, use of stock photos, high handling time (not necessarily if they are using Amazon, though), poor feedback received with complaints of delays and wrong items or out of stock cancellations, very odd item selection and/or quantities like items were chosen at random from a catalog, canned item descriptions scraped from another site, differences between registration location and item location (or vague item location -- like "US, United States"), or inability to answer even basic questions about the items being sold.
