eBay

So I bought a dark blonde hair dye on ebay because I think I'm too young to have grey hair.

Anyway, said hair dye got drop shipped from the river, and seller used prime.

I slipped the dye on, my hair looks great, and I look at least 15 minutes younger, but I'm not sure about the drop shipping and prime.

Negative feedback?

Ahhhhhhhhh hair,

I remember it well.

I could think of far worse things to trigger negative feedback. This is not one of them.

Perhaps no feedback in this case would be appropriate or positive with a hint of passive aggression😉. As others have said, you did eventually get what you wanted albeit in a different manner than wanted.

Unless you have a badge that says Amazon Police...so what?

I have badge that says I'm a buyer who bought an item on ebay and it got shipped by the river. Seller slipped my details to a third party without my permission, and shipped the item to me without the river's permission.

The seller is not honest or trustworthy.

That is the "so what?" you asked about.

That and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee....and if you save some money by using a smaller font size maybe 2 cups.

I've missed out an important bit.

The seller charged me £4.99 for shipping with Royal Mail, but shipped it for free from the river.

I know sellers have to make a profit, but doing it this way is dishonest.

@*madison,

The seller charged me £4.99 for shipping with Royal Mail, but shipped it for free from the river.

That would earn a negative from me. Yes, sellers have a right to make a profit, but not by charging for a service that is not being used. Usually when items are drop shipped the shipping cost is built into the item price. I would go to the Resolution Center, use the Resolving buying problems option in the Help box, and report the seller.

Not only does this violate prime rules (if they misused prime) it also violates eBay's dropshipping rules. It is against the rules to sell then fulfill from a company you do not have a wholesale agreement with.

i would report them to both amazon and eBay. For those who think it’s nbd, would you ignore someone breaking into your neighbors house? Theft of services is theft regardless. If that seller would steal from amazon they will steal from anyone.

< Negative feedback? >

No way. In the first place, it doesn't warrant a neg; I reserve giving negative feedback for deliberate wicked misconduct. In the second place, every other dropshipper will see that neg and block you, lest they be next to provoke your wrath.

I gather from your follow up post that it isn't so much the product's source that irks you, as it is the eBay seller having provided your particulars to a third party. If that's what worries you, you won't need any more dye because you'll be tearing out all your hair. Privacy is a thing of the past, much less anonymity.

Up to you but i wouldn't leave a negative.

The same thing has happened to me several times.

Take care and stay safe!

What irks me is passing my details to a third party,

product source because I hate the river,

and theft.

The theft irks me the most.

When I'm told my item will be shipped by Royal Mail for £4.99, and then the seller uses Prime to ship it, and the seller is also doing something which is not allowed by the river, negative feedback seems appropriate.

I've contacted the seller before I do anything, I'm waiting for a reply.

For a start, I want the £4.99 back.

I've been blocked by thousands of sellers over the years, it's no big deal

And every dropshipper is welcome to block me, they will be doing me a favour, I don't like dropshippers, especially when I don't know they are going to drop ship.
