selling amazon products using eBay??

Im still trying to dive deeper into this want to make sure there is no rules being broke

From what you are saying I understand that this guy is an Amazon affiliate and listing the same products both on Ebay and Amazon. How can he buy his own products on Amazon and what about the Ebay fees he incurs each time a product is sold?

Please clarify. Thanks

Okay so products will ship directly to his buyer from Amazon? His buyer will know its from Amazon and not from his ebay account right? I think thats clever but not sure if its allowed. Also I am not sure if the buyer will report it to ebay if he or she found out whats happening.

Looking into this i have not seen any problems as of yet, it does seem all OK.
I may look into working with my friend with this and see how things go, as we are in the UK i would limit what we do to the UK first then maybe think of expanding worldwide. Then possibly look at automating the whole process a little.

Yes it would be allowed, BUT it is normally not worth the cost. I could imagine the reverse being effective. Buy it cheaply on Ebay and then resell on Amazon. Not the other way around.

**Unless the Ebay seller buys it on Amazon and has a high shipping cost on their Ebay sale, thus recouping the money from shipping. I wouldn't do it this way.

Ebay is a very bad place for a retail seller, who buys things wholesale. I've made a sizable bit of money on Ebay, but ONLY when I have gotten the products (typically used) for free or almost free. Nothing to lose that way.

I have an ecommerce business and sell actual products.

Hi,
Much has been written, but I still don't understand from this post:
If I sell any item from Amazon on Ebay, and I'm not a premium member on Amazon, can I ship this item directly from Amazon to buyer or not?
Thank you.

it is against amazon policy to use them as a drop shipper. I know this for a 100% fact. I've have about 35 accounts closed by them and got into legal a legal battle with them because they close some accounts with open orders and wouldn't give me info on open orders and then refused to close other accounts and tried to charge me the renewal fee of $79 that the prime membership occurs annually(hidden in small print).

If you need any info on this call them PM me

If you ship products from you account to multiple addresses it doesn't take long for amazon to flag you and shut you down.

To get around this, you can use gift cards and rotate cards. Most the time Amazon can't shut you down in time but when they do, you are royally screwed because you can't tell which items have and have not shipped out and you will end up with a huge headache.

I shipped probably about $50,000 worth of products before i finally gave up the constant legal battle and headache.

I know a few things about ebay since ive been top rated for over 12 years.. but

I would personally do some research on the products or niche he is thinking about selling and see if there is any profit to be made. Search Ebay.. and see if the products he is thinking about selling are already selling on ebay for discounted prices and if so, take the difference and see if its worth it.

For instance if he is selling watches and he can get them on amazon for $20 bucks, and the same watch is already selling on ebay for $21 bucks... that would only leave $1 profit , minus fee's, so your looking at really nothing but a headache.

Tell him to go directly to a dropshipper and then list the items directly. He can go and signup for a site like shopster.com free and list the first 50 items completely free.

Pick your products, enter in your info, push 1 button and the products list instantly in ebay - all free!

Order comes in, he goes to shopster, completes the order, they ship it out from any addy or company name he wants. (shopster name left out so it looks like its coming from him)


To answer your questions about if he can do it., you would have to check amazon tos, but as far as ebay, sure it doesn't matter where the product comes from or is shipped from as long as the customer gets their product and there are no direct links in the ebay auction that would guide a visitor outside of ebay to circumvent fee's from a direct sale off the amazon page or product.

Personally it would have to have some good profit per sale, because your talking about fee's from ebay, fee's from paypal, time frame to get the product off amazon (shipping) if he is going to order it first, or if shipped directly to the customer - how to hide the amazon box - then you have to worry about a potential refund rate? Alot of variables to think about.

Im not real familiar with amazon, so you will have to do your research there, but ebay.. yes I know ebay pretty well.
Thanks.

I have some friends do the same too, it seems a good idea.

and what's more, you could using amazon product api and ebey api to compare price, it's a good market

this is not a screte
.just try
