 Weird Amazon/Ebay experience - Zero

Order something on Ebay on Saturday, with a delivery date (by post for this Tuesday.

The item arrived in a Amazon box, by an Amazon courier yesterday.


No mention of amazon on the ebay item, and no mention of ebay on the amazon delivery.

I have had the same thing happen - it was something simple - possibly print cartridges I think.

....dispatched as a "gift from.....".

I've had it happened a couple of times. Someone is "scalping" a cheaper (prime) price on Amazon than they've advertised on eBay, and pocketing the difference.

Doesn't have to be much if you make a full-time job of it.

Very common here. And much easier because of the low expectations as far as delivery times are concerned.

Not uncommon if you buy from Ebay a lot, it's a very pleasant surprise when I've ordered on a Sunday night with a delivery date displayed of the end of the week only for the item to arrive the very next morning via Amazon!

Amazing, not sure how they do it?
