    I ordered some items on Ebay the other night...showed up today in an Amazon box...Amazon label too, as in "shipped from". Oh, and a Amazon gift receipt inside too.
    Anybody else ever see this?

    I ordered a cordless vacuum from Amazon a week or so ago, it showed up with Ebay packing tape on it.

    Right where I want to be.
    It's a conspiracy.
    That's odd.

    As long as it just comes to my front door, and doesn't fly around to the back window and peer in at me... I may be forced to think that the Drone is a weird bird and shoot it out of the sky, haha!

    I have seen this numerous times, I too have wondered but as long as the price is right I don't care if it's wrapped in a McDonald's Big Mac wrapper. I usually check Ebay and Amazon both when I am looking for something.

    Huh, OK. Guess I'm behind the times again...never had it happen before. I would think it would be more expensive for the seller to pay Ebay and AZ

    Amazon has giant warehouses, they can store and ship your bulk products cheaper than you can on your own.
    After all they already have a shipping and packing staff .
    Amazon also makes almost half of their revenue by selling computer server space.
    Most start up Web companies rent space from amazon, instead of buying their own computers, though amazon has competition now in that market

    It happened to us and I figured the seller on Ebay had purchased it from Amazon and had them ship it to us.
