eBay confirmed sellers can list products sourced from Amazon on its platform, even if they do not physically possess the items. This clarification came from an eBay Customer Service representative responding to inquiries about dropshipping methods, particularly concerning groups like DS Domination.
The inquiry specifically asked if an eBay seller could list Amazon items they had not yet purchased. The plan involved buying the item from Amazon only after a sale occurred on eBay, then having Amazon ship directly to the eBay customer.
eBay's Customer Service responded directly to this scenario. "Yes you can," the representative stated, addressing the core question.
The response included a strong advisory against selling items not physically held by the seller. Potential issues with shipping and product damage were cited as reasons for this caution.
Sellers choosing this method remain responsible for the item's condition and the buyer's satisfaction. eBay explicitly allows the practice as long as the seller guarantees delivery within 30 days of the listing's end.
Any problems arising, such as shipping delays or damage, fall to the seller to resolve with the buyer. This responsibility mirrors that of any other eBay seller. This official stance clarifies eBay's approval of Amazon product sales through its platform for dropshippers.
