Mentor1 year agoThe folks that are violating eBay policy by engaging in retail arbitrage are not likely to cooperate by voluntarily advertising that they are doing so.
Even if all the legitimate sellers that use Fulfillment By Amazon to ship items they already own cooperate and indicate that in their listings, buyers that want to avoid getting deliveries from Amazon will still need to take some active steps to ensure that they are not purchasing from sellers that use Amazon to deliver their items. This will be the case regardless of whatever new policy eBay implements, since sellers that are already choosing to violate one policy will not think twice about violating another.
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 other site, use of stock images, and free shipping of bulky items where it is not likely that an individual could pay for postage and still make money on the sale.
