How is it that Amazon only sells 7.5% of all "Amazon-Brand Consumer Electronics"? Am I missing something?
I would suspect this number to be 90%+, and only because some third party sellers may be selling second hand units.
- stevenwoo 8y agoCould it be bad wording on the label - may be it means 7.5 percent of all units sold are Amazon brand, like the ebooks thing. I don't know if this is related but bought a couple of things off EBay last week and they came wrapped in packaging labelled Amazon and with a packing list mentioning Amazon selling.
- CamelCaseName 8y agoIf the packing list mentions Amazon, you probably bought from an eBay dropshipper. They scan Amazon listings and repost all the listings +X% (where X=eBay fees+profit loading) to eBay. When you order from eBay, they just go ahead and order from Amazon on your behalf. If you look up the product you bought on Amazon.com, you'll probably the find the price to be lower than you paid.
