What's up with Amazon fulfilling eBay purchases?
 

I don't know how long it's been happening but lately I notice that some of my eb purchases have been fulfilled by Amazon? What's up with that? And what is the "TBA" tracking number that really doesn't show any tracking info.

Its people drop shipping / arbing.

They are selling items on eBay for x amount and then buying them on Amazon for less and having the Amazon seller ship it directly to you

James I always shop what I buy and always try eb & Amazon and if significant I do a web search. I bought a peppermill on eb the other day for $9.99 and the closest price on both sites was $12.99 so how is what you say possible?

It is what it is.

Maybe someone was out of stock. Maybe you missed the cheaper listing somehow. Maybe they have gift cards. Maybe they are using prime in combo with gift cards. Maybe they are claiming the item was never received. Maybe they are using some cashback system that makes them a small margin in the long run and tax free.

Hard to say right?
