eBay

If you run across a Seller with a logo such as this you may want to look at their feedback negative ones and search for Amazon. Most ebay buyers are buying items from this seller and the seller does not provide a tracking number or if they do it starts out like TBA from Amazon. There address is a UPS Drop Box and only God knows where they real are from. Just beware of sellers like this that drop ship when they don't nor have ever stocked such an item.

I recently ordered something from Ebay and got drop shipped from Amazon with gift receipts. The price is cheaper than Amazon. So how do they make profits?

Stolen credit card? Maybe they were out of stock and ordered to avoid a defect? The gift receipt implies that they unethically used a prime account for fulfillment.

Your seller that you purchased from on Ebay may have owned the stock that was shipped to you from an Amazon FBA warehouse.

As to pricing, in many cases Amazon fees are higher than Ebay's fees and therefore you need to charge more when selling on Amazon. So that could be why you paid less on Ebay. That has been my experience when I've purchased from an Ebay seller that ships for Amazon as well.

They come with gift receipts, does that mean they didn't use FBA?
