Does ebay even care about amazon sellers?

[22e]

Does ebay even care about amazon sellers on ebay?  I mean they are all over the place using their prime accounts to ship items on ebay.  The absolute WORST is .  I've run across several in the past few months and each time I leave feedback (usually neutral) about how they are drop shipping, ebay removes it!  I want to let others know they are drop sellers and spread the word.

Why are they allowing this?  Coorporate greed?  They simply don't care?

How do you know they are using their prime account instead of fulfillment by amazon?

Uhh, because it comes in an amazon box and they are also charging sales tax when I don't live in their state.

You should complain to Amazon, not eBay. 

[dhbookds]

uhhhh..........ebay is getting paid the fvf on the stuff, so why should they care?

Many sellers pay a fee and "warehouse" the stuff in Amazon warehouse and ship anywhere from there.........so it's not necessarily someone selling the product here and then buying on Amazon to get it shipped............

Fulfillment by Amazon will come in an Amazon box.

And by using that, that designates a presence in your state.

ebay doesn't care over 32K in 1 month in feedback (Not sales) because there are many that don't leave feedback so over 32K sales in 1 month, ebay is getting their FVF why should they care.
78 neagatives in a month is no big deal to ebay with their sales volume they are still Top Rated
All ebay cares about is Seller has stock to ship to buyer (even if it is dropship) and that seller ships in handling time 
And yes ebay will remove the feedback you leave because you can't leave bad feedback because they dropship.
The item arrive ontime? as decsribed? then there is no reason for bad feedback

It's more likely a seller that sells on both eBay and Amazon and uses their FBA with AMZ to ship orders from both venues.

If it was an eBay drop shipper using their AMZ Prime account, it would comes as a "gift from xx" as sellers aren't allowed to use their Prime Account for shipping their sales.

That seller absolutely does NOT use their prime membership to ship items from AZ. They use fulfillment by AZ and I love them for it, as I'll get Sunday delivery, even when ordered through eBay.

Some sellers do abuse Prime, that's true, but AZ catches it when the volume gets too high and too many alternate addresses.

If the seller in the OP was doing that, AZ would ban them, week one, with their volume.

They allow it because it violates no eBay policy.

But your reason for leaving negative fb does. So your fb left is removed.

Don't see a reason you should even be concerned about it.

It concerns me because I prefer NOT to do business with amazon.  And I don't like paying sales tax on an item I know isn't in my state.  

I guess I'm old school.  Back in my day (lol) when I signed up for ebay ('99), people actually had the items for sale in hand and ready to ship.  They didn't rely on other businesses to store, pack, and ship them.  In all seriousness, what does a seller do other than place the order on a different site?  It just seems shady to me.

It's cost effective to not have the inventory. Most manufactures use " just in time.e" inventory practices.

And drop shipping has been going on since that 1990's. There's just more doing it today.

Many get upset because they didn't do the research and maybe could have got the item directly cheaper.

As to what they do , they do all the research, make the listing, risk losing their account if shipper fails or out of stock and much more.

It's a service

Why should you care? You got what you ordered, at a price you "were" willing to pay.

I shop Sams Club sellers. I don't have a Sams Club store close by, so I search for Sams Club drop shipperrs (eBay Sellers) for plastic TShirt Shopping bags 1000/cs. Best is price through Sams Club about .02 a piece for my Brick & Mortar store.

I get a great price with free shipping and all, witout the cost of a Sams Club Membership.

Drop Shipping is not a "BAD" thing, why do people always think like that?

Always wondered how Amazon can be competitive with so many type of middle men involved, is Amazon a fancy drop shipper? can a seller sell same as here without all the fluff.

FBA isn't a drop shipment - it's warehousing and shipping for products that the sellers own. Same as if you had 100 pallets of stock and you contracted with a 3PL warehouse to do your receiving, shipping, and storage.
