Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

I see some of my competitors buy products from me at lower price and once my products sells out the price changes by almost 50%.

Do amazon allow sellers to buy from other sellers and ship to their customers?

SAX4 will answer your question shortly

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

You mean buy from you but they use their client's shipping address so you ship to them?

The answer to that is no. they won't like it.

But I think some people are getting away with it, because it is actually happening

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

if they use their buying account,or they do not do it too often

You can get away with many things on AZ, until you can't.

Of course. People always do what they aren't supposed to do, but it's a ticking time bomb.

It's not for building a business long term

Someone placed an order for a book in my shop,if I do not have it,I will just buy it from another seller and ask him to ship it to my buyer,it does not happen often though

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

Your competitors will get another buyer to purchase your stock to get you out of the way so theirs will sell for more money, it happened to me a few times.

Let me guess, chinese competitors mostly?

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

US $ is precious to Chinese,I doubt if they are willing ti do so.
Also,they can easily beat your price?

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

Yes. Often a strategy referred to as A2A (amazon to amazon), although it is usually not a good idea to buy from other 3rd party sellers as there is alot of risk that comes along with it. Still all within Amazon ToS so long as you are not using a prime account to buy with.

The thing about amazon is that even when things are within their policy, it doesn't mean they won't make an excuse to suspend you.

Ppl do it - they get shutdown if it becomes excessive/rampant....occasionally and without use of a gift card is not really punished...

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

Are you saying someone buys all your inventory in one order, then charges 50% more and magically changes 1 order into 50 different orders to 50 different customers? What exactly is your question?

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

no, 1 person with the same phone number in the order page buys different products and ship to different address.

Immediately I am out of stock, my competitors price will rise my 50-100%

Re: Do Sellers Resell on Amazon?
 

I think the one thing to keep in mind is to keep your stock up in your asin so they don't take over the asin eventually.

It sounds like he sold the identical products elsewhere say Ebay and then make you ship the orders to his buyers .
