Why do you find many sales on eBay at much higher prices than on Amazon?

[dakbat-61]

Why do I find a lot of people on the eBay platform buying
goods at prices much higher than their default prices, 
so you find an item sold on eBay for $205?
There is a shipping fee of 10 dollars and a tax that 
will not be less than 20 dollars, meaning that
 we are talking about a total of 235 dollars,
 even though it is the same on Amazon at a price
of 65 dollars.
It is absolutely the same categorically
If they buy it from Amazon with free shipping after
tax, it will not exceed $72
Is there a group of people who enjoy being 
scammed and having their money stolen, 
and who psychologically enjoy paying 3 times
 more for a product than its real price?

You only get free shipping on Amazon if you pay $140 plus each year for Prime. That hardly seems free.

You've obviously never heard of comparative shopping, but A+ for drama.

You pay the same tax rate on Amazon as Ebay.

As for the rest of your questions it would help to have an example.

Amazon suppresses listings for overpriced items, so sellers will avoid that. As a retailer itself, Amazon knows what many items should cost, and it also checks the prices on many items against Walmart and other mass market sites. And notifies sellers when their item is suppressed under their Fair Pricing Policy.

It costs Amazon and its FBA sellers less to ship than most Ebay sellers have to pay.

Many of those Amazon sellers are larger than Ebay sellers and pay less for NEW products.

Amazon has lost sales of many items to Amazon over the past several years - mostly NEW, In Production, Mass Market Product.

Some of those grossly overpriced sales you are seeing might be a money laundering scheme. Internet marketplace sites are used to launder money.

It costs a lot of money for the seller to sell online.

For the same reason a 40 oz. jar of Skippy peanut butter  is priced differently at 10 different stores.

I shop around and do everything possible to avoid Amazon including paying a reasonable amount over but 

I see the opposite on many things.

I could list quite a few things that are lower priced on ebay than Amazon and there are many things that are available on ebay that are not available on Amazon

     There are probably a lot of reasons: some people have been on eBay so long they don't know any other online platform, some will buy anywhere but Amazon although they may be doing so through a drop shipping and never realizing it. If you can figure out the consumer mindset across all the multiple factors you could write a book and be a millionaire and not have to sell on eBay.

how dear
i have never ever heard of anything else but the comparative shopping this why i am here and this is why i am ask this question

i can tell you LIVE example from my field , Electronics.

yesterday i saw ad on eBay for laptop hard drive 2TB ( Brand , Model , Condition , Status all what you want to say is the SAME on Amazon and the Same in our stores which is almost 60$ ) that eBay seller is listing it for 204$ plus 10$ shipping which means in total after tax around 240$ and it has great sales on it
4 times our price and Amazon price... 
customers can even buy this item NEW for lower than this

All this dear and you tell me i haven't heard of comparative shopping , only if you mean it reversely that 

shoppers run at the highest price not the cheapest

Buyers need to compare prices in many different venues to insure the best value for their money. No one venue will always have the lowest price every time.   Prices in places like this vary as the crow flies.

[chapeau-noir]

I don't buy things on eBay I can get on Amazon, because chances are, the seller will just drop ship the stuff to me from Amazon, anyway. So far I haven't found prices for what I purchase higher here, though.

[gloryglorygifts]

If they are paying your prices, why do you care?

Drop shipping, retail arbitrage.  Sellers... many international will list items for more & then purchase them on Amazon cheaper.  This is called retail arbitrage and it is against eBay policies and on most of e commerce sites.  It is deceitful and the customers are the ones who pay the price.  If you are considering this type of selling I would re consider as you can and will be suspended for doing so.   Hope this has been helpful.

Have a great day.

The helpfuls here on this forum do not like to be referred to as "dear" Please avoid using that term in the future.  Thank you.

Dear is not an American often used term to address someone except by Flo but seems to be common in messages/posts from people that don't live in the USA.

I pretty sure I have seen this post by someone else a while back. Looks like a cut and paste. Note that the OP just signed up today and has two questions going.
