Hi All ( Happy new year),

There are lots of WSO's about buying on Amazon and then selling on Ebay- I have found a few items that I can make money on but my question...

If my customer orders my ebay item that I then order from Amazon will it not arrive to my customer in Amazon packaging and more importanly an amazon invoice showing what I paid?

    I always try to sell an item that has a "gift" option on Amazon. If you select that this item is a gift then your customer will not receive an invoice indicating what you paid for it. However I have sold a bunch of items where a gift item was not avialable and it has not been a problem. I guess most people dont even look at the invoice since they know they got the item from Ebay and they have a transaction history on Ebay anywas. I have turned Power Seller In Ebay by just drop shipping from Amazon in six months. Generally I have found that if the item is a large item the packaging is not labeled as it is coming from Amazon. Amazon has a lot of sellers that use the Amazon market place to sell their items. Large items like a swing set is delivered in the original packaging that comes from the manufacturer. The other thing I have noticed is that people dont really care that much. In my listings I indicate that I use a lot of different suppliers and so the customer knows that the item can come from anywhere. I have sold over 10,000 worth of items from Amazon and not once have I had any cutomer questions the source of my item knock on wood. However if the customer does indicate that they are not happy about the fact that it came from Amazon I will simply paypal a refund of the difference just to keep them happy and maintain a steller reputation with Ebay.

      Do you have any tips on how to find product on amazon with a decent markup on ebay? How much is your average markup?

      Thanks!

    It'll be a difficult task for all the procedure. You can use transferring corer servoces for this purpose. You can also use AliExpress drop shipping services.
