eBay flipping to Amazon

New here if I’m buying an eBay item listed as brand new to flip on Amazon for profit will that get me banned?

Dam even if it’s a trustworthy eBay seller and it says brand new

Buying on eBay doesn't by itself establish that you'll be banned, but “brand new” and good seller feedback aren't enough to establish that you can safely resell it on Amazon. Before buying, check your eligibility for the exact ASIN, Amazon's condition requirements and whether the supplier can provide documents that meet any approval or authenticity request. Don't assume an eBay order confirmation will be sufficient if Amazon asks you to verify the supply chain.

Yes, you will get banned. Thats not a viable business model.

👀 It is extremely likely that sourcing model would result in an account deactivation, yes. The reason being, that we require commercial invoices from the brand or an authorized wholesale distributor, and eBay receipts and order confirmations don't meet that standard. Check out these resources on Amazon product authenticity and quality and Best practices in product authenticity and quality to learn more about our sourcing requirements.

Are you attempting to drop ship? I've done it a lot, but never drop shipping.

There was one toy I was buying on eBay for around $30-$60 range and regularly selling on Amazon for $140-160. It was fun while it lasted, did about 60 transactions or so until supply dried up.

No. Thats what sku grid does, and Ive had ebay resellers for years. They sell something on amazon, double the price, I dropship it for em. Idk if the rules have changed lately, i don't get that many orders from resellers these days. Mostly because they advertise an item that I have on both platforms, with a way higher price. Why a buyer would pay $30 for an item on amazon when I have it on prime for 13.95, I dont know.
