Is ebay the same as Amazon?!
I'm puzzled: I ordered from ebay but received the items from Amazon. What the?! I'm still waiting for 1/3 of my order. Even stranger, neither ebay nor Amazon is showing this recent order in my account... making it difficult to try to follow up on the remaining item not yet received. Anyone have some input about this conundrum?

Mentor2 years agoEither your sellers use Fulfilled By Amazon to deliver their own items from Amazon's warehouses (which is allowed), or else your sellers are taking your payment and purchasing on Amazon to have items delivered to you (which is not allowed).
You may want to check your sellers carefully and avoid sellers that show appearances of being drop-shippers that do not actually have stock on hand.
Signs that a seller may be drop-shipping items from a retail site such as Amazon:
Examining seller feedback closely can often provide indications of that, as can noticing certain aspects of the seller's items for sale -- such as a limited assortment of multiple quantity listings that appear to have been copied at random from a catalog or from another site, use of stock images, and free shipping of bulky items where it is not likely that an individual could pay for retail postage and still make money on the sale.
Make sure you are signed in to the same eBay account you used to make the original purchase. If you purchased as a guest, sign out of your current eBay account and use the order details link in the email you received from eBay regarding the guest order.
