Amazon to eBay Dropshipping a bad business model?

Amazon to eBay Dropshipping a Bad Idea

You're probably familiar with what drop shipping is. Lately there's a movement of using Amazon products to sell to eBay customers.

Some people claim great success with this model but in reality it's a recipe for disaster. If nothing else buyers are going to be confused when they order an item from eBay but receive an item from Amazon, even if with a blind packing slip.

Many customers are then likely to go over to Amazon to checkout the product there. When they realize you sold them a $10 Amazon product for $20 it's going to lead to people doing returns to buy the product cheaper or leaving you negative feedback because they feel duped.

I'm not disagreeing that people should be allowed to make money but ordering wholesale from China and reselling at least takes a bit more work than two clicks on Amazon.com and it will and it does rub customers the wrong way.

Many Amazon sellers will also include marketing materials in their packages which means they will wind up stealing the customer you sold to if they offer a coupon or include some marketing materials.
