I am tired of sellers listing items at a specific location only then after purchase it be drop shipped from Amazon. This is out right fraud. If I wanted to buy products from a miscellaneous Amazon warehouse I would shop on Amazon. When I see an item location I make the decision to purchase. This for two reasons, 1.) Support Small Individual Business, and, 2.) Maintain some level of quality control as to where I receive product from.
I am particularly upset with this last item which the above happened and the item shipped out of "Ground Zero" for Covid19 outbreak here in Oregon. I specifically ordered this product because it showed item location that was acceptable to me. The warehouse this shipped out of is in the worst county and biggest outbreak of COVID19 in Oregon. On top of all this I was given the wrong tracking number and when it was delivered somewhere else I contacted seller. I asked him to cancel order since it had not shipped, but they shipped that afternoon anyway.
I shop at eBay to generally buy from smaller sellers and individuals. I do not want to support Amazon and I should not be forced to do so when the seller is misrepresenting item. There are too many sellers claiming to be US sellers or misrepresenting item location covering up they are drop ship 3rd party sellers. Customer service is the absolute worse in most cases using these type sellers. They are lying in the item listing and by pass the effectiveness of selecting US Sellers Only.
This is fraud and a huge blight on eBay. EBay needs to make it possible to check a box to exclude ALL 3rd party sellers from any search you make. Or, eBay needs to have 3rd party drop ship sellers clearly state that is what they do and specifically when listing items use the "Ships from multiple locations" option to alert buyers.
Absolutely tired of this fraud being allowed to happen....
