If I can increase my bottom line I'll do it any way I can. However, in this case, I'm not trying to cut him out. If we're both making sales, then I'm happy! I have thought about contacting him, but want to better understand the situation first. Quote:

The problem I have had in the past, is you have no way of contacting the REAL customer. And that is problematic when selling ink and toner cartridges or anything of a dispensable item.
Blind drop shippers pad their pockets by claiming a item was faulty and expect you to guarantee something that was sold twice.
Probably being sold on Amazon since the prices are generally higher there on most items. | I didn't think about him just selling them on Amazon for a higher price. I typically have the lowest price so I just assumed he was selling elsewhere... but buyers don't always buy the lowest price for one reason or another. I would think Amazon would be able to detect blind drop shipping and disallow it, no?
Is this something that you experience a lot? I can imagine that tactic is common for ink cartridges but probably less common for electronic consumer goods (what I sell).
EDIT: Really fascinating. I think this guy is just regular blind dropshipping, though. Not blind dropshipping.
