Yeah, Amazon 3rd party sellers are also on EBay, but lowest prices (including low/free shipping ) wins my business since most products are made in China anyways.
Son wanted a certain Lego set. I told him to shop online for a better price.
Found same set on eBay for $30 less.
Now I told him with that savings, he can use it to get another set; just use the powa of teh internetz & u can just use Amazon to check on the product reviews

You made your kid shop for his own presents?

I think it's a great idea - a win/win. Kids need to understand the value of currency and how different businesses operate and at the same time get a gift at the same time.

Amazon reviews are very unreliable. Google it and you'll find a lot of interesting stories on the subject.
Counterfeit goods are also a huge issue for Amazon.

It’s so easy to beat Amazon’s prices. But most people are too lazy or ignorant to try.
Some of those third party sellers are changing the SKU numbers on certain products that had bad reviews, or are slightly different (or are counterfeit), and reselling them again on Amazon. There is an Amazon business in my area that does that. They know someone in the sweat shops in China and have a deal worked out to have those products shipped to their warehouse here instead of back to China when a customer returns them. And people buy that crap as soon as it’s listed again.

Like DHL was. Spending 5B of the German Government's money and then going belly up.

And retuned to the counterfeit factory in China (if some other sucker doesn’t buy it first) by Wednesday.

I was just giving him a hard time as I also think it is a great idea.
I have 3 grandchildren and have no idea what to get them so my kids will send me Amazon links of what they want.
Yeah, third party Amazon sellers really are dog
much of the time. Have friends and family members who accidentally buy from them when they’re the default seller of an item because their price is like 5 cents less than Amazon’s.They then either have to live with the fake/low quality item or send it back for a refund after dealing with the third party seller return process if I notice they’ve been had within their return period.

I guess it’s just easier for some people to blindly click that “Add To Cart” button continue to tell themselves that their yearly membership fee and “free 2 day shipping” makes it all worth it.Yeah, third party Amazon sellers really are dog

My dad has us do the same thing for his grandchildren. Then he orders on Amazon and ships it directly to us - he lives 1800 miles away from us.

They prefer to play with the box that the packages come in.
