Amazon boxes

ifbb-emery — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 11:52:43 GMT

I have recently received a few orders from here that have been delivered in Amazon boxes. Can you please tell me why? I specifically only shop on Ebay because I refuse to feed the virus that is Jeff Bezos and Amazon. If I thought Ebay was going to be operating as Amazon via Ebay I would no longer shop here.

some sellers sell on both sites and their stock is stored in the Amazon warehouse and any ebay sales are sent from there in Amazon packaging

others buy from Amazon after they make a sale on ebay and have it sent directly to the buyer,

the first option is allowed,

the second one isn't and the seller can be reported.

They need to disclose that because I won't buy from them if they do.

they don't have to disclose if they use Amazon as a storage point

Then you're going to need to stop shopping here.

More and more of the larger sellers use something called fulfillment by Amazon for eBay.

Some also sell on Amazon, some simply find it cheaper to send their stock to Amazon warehouses and have them pick, pack and deliver it than it is to do it any other way.

Fulfilment by Amazon retains the same appearance as a normal Amazon order so the only way you can tell for sure is if you get a receipt or a gift receipt showing the seller bought it from Amazon and is abusing their prime option.

Sounds like I'm gone then. Thank you for your reply. Shame. I've been a customer for decades. I don't need it bad enough to give any of my money to that horrible being that is part of what is ruining our world.

Thank you
