Flipping ebay items on amazon

Is this still a thing?

Yeah it's a still a thing, and other methods: amazon to ebay, amazon to amazon, then other websites as well

Doable - but don't use multiple sources of payment such as gift cards and avoid too many "Ship to" address changes on the website - space it out

Flipping eBay items on Amazon can still work, but it takes careful research. Margins, fees, and Amazon rules make it tricky, so choosing the right products is key.

Buying on eBay, having it shipped to you, then reselling on Amazon? Sure, if the price is right, if you can wait for delivery, you can check the quality and if you can provide documentation if Amazon asks.

Dropshiping from eBay direct to a Amazon customer? Too risky for me.

I wouldn't risk my Amazon account (and its not like they're easy to open any more) by relying on the ebay seller shipping on time, or accurately describing the item.

Drop shipping / Flipping on amazon is almost dead nowadays.

The only real deal is if you purchase everything through eBay let's say -> get it shipped to your rented/owned WH -> repackage it and ship to the amazon customers by yourself from SAME CONSTANT LOCATION; as soon as amazon notices that you ship from different locations they can suspend the acc.
Amazon allows this stuff only if you repackage the items and make sure that only you as the only seller on record appear on the packages; and if you own/rent a WH;

As for flipping (within same marketplace) it's extremely risky and to make it as a whitehat practice you'll need a bag of luck; + once again if any customer sees a 3rd party info on the package/receipt they can immediately report to CS and account is pretty much gone since you won't be able to prove that it was shipped by yourself and was purchased from any reliable source outside of the marketplace u know. And if Amazon asks where did you get your item(s) from and you show an email from your amazon buyer account you are . They don't allow it in any way.

The real pain in the ass comes if amazon asks for any sort of supply chain documentation since you won't have any genuine invoices at all, only order confirmations basically which almost never are considered as a valid proof.

And even following all the rules never can keep your account off drop shipping suspension where they will literally ask you to PROVE that you did everything by the rules. PROVING that doesn't secure the reactivation at all
