Someone from Thailand listed one of the items i sell on ebay on amazon. He is using me as his drop shipper.

I sell it for $40. He has his listed at $96.99.

When he sells one he just buys one from me and has me ship it directly to his customer in the states.

I just sold one. The buyer is some long Thai name. The ship to is Joe Blow, anytown, USA. NOTE FROM BUYER: Do not include and invoice or packing slip with the item.

Am i mad? No. The more he sells, them more i sell.

Well he doesn't sell very many of them at $96.

Sounds like a great deal on that candy!

I would stock up for the winter if i were you! 😃

Include an invoice so their buyers know to come to you directly in the future

That could very easily backfire and make the buyer angry so they file a return on Amazon prompting the drop shipper to file a return or SNAD on the OP.

Whether they sell it to the customer directly or through the drop shipper they're making the sale either way. The smart move is to ship without the invoice then evaluate if it's possible to create your own listing on the other website for direct sales to those customers.

GLORIOUS!

LOL, well.... ....are they much softer than the hard candy but not as soft as a marshmallow? ;-0 (Couldn't help myself, I know you get it, grin!)

Thinking about this a bit... He is the buyer. You are the seller. His buyer can only return the item to the return address of the original shipment, which is you. If or when that happens, he has to refund his buyer.

Where I think it gets a bit sticky is for your buyer. During his original sale to his buyer (the person you're shipping to), he cannot post a tracking number, because you're the one doing the shipping, and presumably have already uploaded the tracking number yourself. If he tries to upload your tracking number for his sale, it should be rejected as a number that's already in use.

If his buyer is unhappy with your item and files a NAD dispute as a result, he (your buyer) would have to turn around and file one on you, so that he could get a return shipping label (going from his buyer back to you). He would then forward that label to his buyer.

Now, if his buyer wants to return the item, it comes back to the source (you), after which he'd have to refund his buyer (once tracking shows that the item has been returned). He could then attempt to get his refund back from you, although he would not have the item in his hands to ship back (because you already got it back directly from his customer). If he was really nefarious, he'd need to ship you back a rock or something in order to produce a tracking number showing the supposed return of your sale to him, after which he could collect his refund from you. Hopefully it won't come to that.

I think that's the correct chain of events. Drawing it out on paper may be helpful.
