It has recently come to my attention that a seller on Amazon has taken my photos and listed my items for sale on Amazon.  When they sell something they buy it from me and put a note on the order asking it to be sent without an invoice or any type of branding.  From what I read on Amazon, drop shipping this way is not allowed.  They are also selling my items for 2-3 times more than what I sell them for on here.  I have reported this to Amazon but have not heard back.  Can I report them to eBay or should I just block the buyer and hope they don't have more buying accounts?  I like the sales, but I'm still not happy this is happening.  My items are branded with my seller name and website and it will be easy for customers to go to my eBay Store and see that they got ripped off on Amazon, then contact me thinking that I was the seller.  Anyone else have experience with this?

And be sure to leave an invoice in the package to show how much it costs to have a middle man!

Interesting note that there are lots of eBay sellers who dropship via The River and abuse Prime "Gift Shipments". I've reported a few. They do not take lightly to it.

Some of those eBay sellers *may* legimately house their inventory in an Amazon warehouse (fulfillment Centre) as part of their fulfilled-by-amazon business model. So they may actually be shipping their own items to you instead of chronically abusing the Prime gift option like I used to always assume too.

The ones I reported always had that gift note saying it was a gift from me! That never gets old.

Snicker. Why yes, I buy gifts for myself ALL the time since I have such excellent taste in gift-giving.
