The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

      Can’t people just buy directly then, why do they choose to use these dropshippers?

          But if you compare prices, why wouldn’t you go for the lower price?

          If you don’t compare prices, well, at that point it’s just on you tbh.

            It’s usually over different websites and look like different levels of quality. For example, my friend bought a part of their Halloween costume on etsy, expecting something of decent hand made quality. Instead he got something mass produced from a factory drop shipped from Amazon.

      That’s how modern business operates. Market t is statured and the market aint got a lot of new ways to make money so these “entrepreneurs” just trying to middle man everything 69 times

      Best example is any e commmer transactions, so you regular buyer and seller but now you also got amazon, bank, visa, some advertising algo that sells your data…

      Jfc I am just trying to buy a pair of fucking socks.
