I've had two occurrences in the last couple of weeks of things where I've bought thing from sellers on ebay and the parcel has arrived as a fully branded Amazon purchase.
Anyone know what the deal is with that? Surely they're paying ebay fees and a fee to Amazon, so I would have thought it was more expensive for them.
Anyone else had similar experiences?
Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

Maybe its just cheaper for some amazon businesses to use ebay as a shopfront. Its all about making the various fees and postage costs work for you. Bit of a juggling act I would imagine. When you consider they are offering free postage, and selling things for just a couple of quid. They have to find a way to cover their costs and still make a decent profit.
Yes, I bought some Aeropress filters from ebay, mainly because of the price and the seller would likely put them in a jiffy bag which would fit through my letterbox.
They arrived in a bloody shoebox sized thing from Amazon, nestling among a big pile of scrunched-up brown paper. Had to drive 2 miles to the sorting office to pick them up.
It was in the description that this would happen so no surprises but it did happen.
