Is amazon just a giant drop shipping scam at this point?

Ive started checking Ali for every item I'm about to buy from Amazon and the same item is always on there for less than half of the cost.

Anybody can become an Amazon seller.

I was an Amazon seller at one point, just had to voice chat with Amazon rep to make sure I was a real person and a few other verification things.

Totally not worth it to sell on Amazon though, ebay only takes like 13%, even less if you are a top rated seller (which I was).

Only way to be profitable as an Amazon seller is through selling a ton of items, which is why drop shipping is so common.

The other issue with Amazon is they let any seller fulfill products and they do little verification if a product is counterfeit.

When you fulfill a product on Amazon, it's sent to their warehouse, and it doens't matter the fulfiller, all the same items are put together.

So even if 99% of the fulfillers for an item are legit, if 1% are fulfilling counterfeit goods, then you still have a chance at getting a counterfeit item.

The way that items are sold on Amazon as well, is based on who can fulfill an item for the cheapest amount. So it incentivizes countefeiting goods. Even if you are willing to spend more money for a "legit" item, you can't do this on Amazon. All the items from fulfillers are sold as the same item, so you are fricked. Amazon is trash, someone sodomoize that strag jeff bezos.

There is no way to prevent this, as far as I am aware.

I am a total ebay shill, like with ebay you can find a good seller, and know all the items they sell are coming from them. Refund & return policy on Ebay is also better, and it's cheaper than Amazon. Customer service is a lot better than Amazon as well. You literally just message the seller directly. Some people like Mecari, but I have never really been into them. Feels like all the best sellers use ebay.

think I got weirdass welchs fruitsnacks from one of these fullfillment tricks like a decade ago

I think it was an official listing for a big box, but there were reviews complaining of, well exactly what we got,

which was a bunch of loose random little fruit snack bags in a big ziplock

there was one variety I didn't even know existed (they were all supposed to be the default mix)

and obviously expired, hard with a funky taste, the exp. dates were all smeared out

very strange

Only issue with Ebay is that they had a controversy a while back where they someone of the Executives literally gangstalked someone who criticisized the company. I am not even joking, lol. They sent like pig heads to the guys house and would make the website for them show auctions with creepy items and a bunch of other stuff.

also the promoted listings are trash
