Yes, but he's saying that Amazon commingles the inventories of different sellers if they recognize it to be the same item.
In other words, if Seller X, Y, and Z all sell Widgets, Amazon puts all their Widgets into the same box. When you buy a Widget from Seller X, you may actually be getting a Widget that originated from Seller Y or Z. From the buyer and seller perspective, it's transparent...unless, of course, one of the sellers is a counterfeiter, in which case the buyer gets agitated that Seller X is selling counterfeit Widgets and yells at Seller X for selling counterfeit Widgets when the item actually originated with Seller Y.
- acuozzo 9y ago> Amazon commingles the inventories of different sellers if they recognize it to be the same item Is this also true of items shipped and sold by Amazon.com? I avoid third party sellers for this reason.
- j-c-hewitt 9y agoYou're probably more likely to get something co-mingled sold by Amazon.com than from a third party seller. Generally speaking third party sellers have more of a reason to opt out of it unless they know their inventory is junk.
- astura 9y agoYes.
- sgroppino 9y agoThis is terrible. Do they also mix with items sold by Amazon itself?
- stevenwoo 9y agoWow, that seems like a horrible practice to me because if I chose a seller over another I'm generally trying to guess who is not selling counterfeit goods at a reasonable price.
