We are talking about Amazon not eBay. None of these examples make much sense. The real issue is iPhones aren’t country locked and Apple works with a ton of retailers globally. It would just end up a cat and mouse game of Apple trying to figure out which desperate retailer is dumping inventory on Amazon in violation of Apple’s agreement with the retailer.

Amazon has third party resellers. It's more similar to eBay than you might rhink

  I know the process because I have setup an Amazon vendor account. You are not getting a vendor account to sell one phone you won in a bingo raffle.

    I can sell on Amazon. Or I used to be able to. Most recently I tried to use my account to sell some iPad/tablet/phone stands for a school. They were brand new, never opened. Amazon wouldn't let me list them unless I could prove I got them from the manufacturer or something. It sucks. I'm sure the reason is because of fraudulent items, which also sucks. Pretty bad catch-22. Anyway, I got this seller account to sell a couple of books. Used it a couple of times a decade. If I won an iPhone in a raffle, I'd absolutely be trying to sell it on Amazon.

    I used to have an Amazon Seller account on the Individual plan, which has no monthly fees: https://sell.amazon.com/pricing#selling-plans https://sell.amazon.com/pricing#selling-plans Prior to Amazon's brand restrictions, Amazon Marketplace was a popular place for individuals to sell unwanted new and used goods. Selling on Amazon was even easier than selling on eBay, since there was no need to make a new product listing with photos and descriptions. Most of the new goods sold by Individual sellers were not raffle prizes, but unwanted goods such as gifts, items obtained at a discount, and items that were not eligible for free return to the original retailer.

    What if you bought new phones from others and then resold?
