Prime drop shipper | Buying

I ordered an item listed as being located in Japan and received it very quickly through Amazon Prime. It included an Amazon gift receipt. The Amazon price for the item is $8.99, and the eBay seller price was $13.45. I know it's not much money, but it rubs me the wrong way that the seller is letting Prime pay the shipping and earning a 49% profit. The tracking was through CoreTrails, which is apparently not a supported shipping platform for eBay and can be used to provide false tracking information. I messaged the seller, stating that the item was drop-shipped from Prime and asking for a refund of the difference ($13.45 - $8.99), which I think is very reasonable. The seller responded, "The item was as described." Should this be reported to eBay and/or Amazon? If so, what is the most efficient way to report to eBay? Should I file an "item not as described" case?
