Amazon/ebay

I ordered an item from ebay and it was delivered in an Amazon box!

Have Amazon taken ebay over?

Re: Amazon/ebay

I get items in all shapes and sizes of boxes from Ebay. I think they find their most suitable supplier and that person puts it in any old package he/she can find at the time. That's the impression I get from Ebay anyway, Carol. They're a bit hotch-potch with their source material to say the least.

I only use eBay, never had a delivery in an Amazon package, how bizarre.

If the Ebay suppliers are "dealers" then they will usually have spare boxes from other suppliers, including Amazon, so it's become common practice to reuse them .....

Re: Amazon/ebay

I heard of people who buy from Amazon, at whatever low offer price is around, and then auction the items off on EBay.

No need to unpack them!

Nice little earner!
