sending your merchandise to AMZN warehouse so it can manage your inventory and fill your orders is possible.
if you sell an item you do not have i on AMZN, take customer money ,then look for that item and ask the Ebay seller to ship to your AMZN customer is not dropshipping,it is retail arbitrage.
AMZN does not like it,but may not be able to find out until the buyer complains?
What happens if the buyer wants to return the item?
retail arbitrage is a smart ass idea and some buyers will retaliate,he would either report you,or claim item is defective and make you pay for return,return an empty box or deliberately damage your item.

It sounds like you dont have any inventory,so FBA is not for you.
You want to find the goods on EBay and ask the Ebay seller to ship to your AMZN buyer.
- there are still plenty of Ebay sellers whop list an item ,when an Ebay buyer places the order,come to AMZN with his prime account and find an AMZN seller to fill the order.
That AMZN seller could be you???
It would be so funny !!!!!!!
She has no clue what is going on,let her find out the hard way
cant you tell she wants to do what she wants to do,sell on amzn fullfilled by Ebay seller,makes no difference what we tell her,so the best is to find out from experience.
Most AMZN sellers are in business,they own the merchandise and they may even have a physical store and can easily re-order from manufacturer and distributors, but Ebay has a large number of individual sellers who find items in storage auctions,garage sales or attics,some may not even have any merchandise,they just use their AMZN prime account to fill their Ebay orders.
So it is easier to sell on Ebay and find an AMZN seller to fill your order than sell on AMZN and find an Ebay seller to fill your order,
Either way is not easy,as tons of people are doing it now.
Best is to secure some capital,vsit your local wholesale district,merchandise mart or tradeshows,to find something to sell,some retailers would also play wholesalers by giving you a 20% discount

You mean you have been selling on AMZN and finding Ebay sellers with crude pictures and buy from them,asking them to ship to your AMZN buyers for 12 years?
Are those items with crude pictures good enough for your AMZN buyers? and how easy is it to find them on Ebay?

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon got a list of all the major retailer's UPS account numbers and banned any seller who inputs one of those as a tracking number for something sold on Amazon.
If you got Walmart's UPS account on your tracking number, you're clearly not walmart so Amazon can say with a high degree of certainty that they should suspend you. |
He said he looks for small sellers with homemade crude photos on Ebay and buy from them,not WMT or Ebay seller who play the same game like him,except the traffic is sell on Ebay,buy from AMZN
Third party WMT sellers,when a buyer wants to pick up at local WMT store,WMT will send the seller a free UPS shipping label to the local WMT store.so the buyer can go and pick up the item in his local WMT store
dropshipping on amazon
