I would consider it drop shipping if neither Amazon nor the 3rd party seller ever had possession of the product. The scenario is: Joe Consumer goes to Amazon and orders a widget for sale from a 3rd party seller. The 3rd party seller then goes to the widget manufacturer and asks them to ship a widget to Joe (or more likely has a computer program do this automatically).
