eBay

I recently received a package I bought on ebay but it was clearly bought and delivered by amazon-even had a gift receipt.

Had to return it, the return label is an amazon building.

Is this allowed by ebay? Pretending it's a gift, and buying through amazon?

Amazon told me it was against their rules.

It is against the rules (both Ebay and Amazon) for a seller to use their Prime account to ship to their buyer. If you received a gift note, that is what your seller did.

It is NOT against the rules for a seller to send their own inventory to an Amazon warehouse, then have Amazon ship to their buyer. This is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and is 100% legitimate.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell

Also report seller to Amazon for abuse of Prime account and they will be suspended there as well.

Did that, but ebay seems to make it stupid hard to do the same

I definitely got a gift notification.
How do I report this to ebay?
It just keeps sending me to pages which dont apply.

Also humorously, I just got a ship notice from overstock.com for a package I bought on ebay smh guess it's getting bad
