A third party seller did, not Walmart..
However, Walmart itself did recently sell me an OEM 'not for resale' labeled hard drive, so there is some strangeness going on in their warehouse just like at Amazon
- noasaservice 4y agoWalmart is *endorsing* any subcontractor. I literally do not care what back-end contractor of theirs is doing. My transaction is conducted on walmart.com , my credit card transaction goes to a walmart account, and my credit card bill shows a walmart line-item. This "redirecting responsibility" to somewhere else is the fraudulent grift going on there. Walmart wants to put their name on transactions? Make them live with the repercussions dealing with fraud. (Same goes for any online retailer that has a primary presence, and intertwines back end contractors or 3rd party sellers.) Exceptions are for ebay and etsy, since it is blatantly clear that individuals open their own shop and ebay/etsy only provide a basic framework.
- nope96 4y agoOh, I agree, but I can't think of any major US retailer that does not do this 3rd-party stuff. Amazon, Walmart, Newegg all do. I guess Target doesn't (yet). It's frustrating to explain to older parents, "You have to pick, "Sold by [Walmart|Amazon]", or it could be anyone!" and not have them understand.
