Everything in eBay store is from Kmart

I have noticed a couple of times the same bowls I have purchased from kmart listed on eBay. Today I looked at this eBay store and most items, if not all, are from kmart!
I'm appalled! I will be reporting them to kmart but where is their conscience? Disgusting

Sure these are not run out clearance lines?. It is surprising you can often resell old lines for more than their new cost from these major chains as there are buyers who like their products, know them, but can no longer get them. Whats more you are not competing with the chain itself.

they are a little more obvious than most as to their eBay presence. It has nothing to do with sales (especially discounted) but everything to do with being seen as an eBay presence. Soon to be an Amazon store near you?

Well -  I am reporting all sellers - all sellers that buy from someone else.

 

They need reporting - because they bought from someone - anyone.

 

Got my work cut out here.

 

LOL.


Please make sure you spell my name correctly!

Just to add a bit of reality here, where we live it is a four hour round trip to the nearest KMART, we do have Target and Big W at a two hour trip, but if I needed the item that only KMART had for sale, and not available anywhere else, I would gladly pay a bit more to get the item delivered to me.  Much cheaper than a four hour drive.  Not everyone lives right near a particular store, good on the seller, at least the buyer would get a warranty. REturn the item to the seller, and they would then return it to KMART, unlike arguing with some dropshipper pretending to be local, when in fact offshore.

These sellers won't ship to you, though.

 

Just to be clear, these stores aren't offering any kind of additional service. They are just performing the purchase transaction on K Mart and allowing K Mart to deliver directly - it'd be like someone buying an item from me for $50, I then buy it from a seller on eBay for $25, and supply them with my buyer's address. That's why I can't condone it. It's not legally wrong, but still feels unethical to me. 

 

When these sellers strike a buyer in a remote location, they just refund and don't supply, because K Mart's shipping charges are quite high outside metro areas. 

 

They are not end of line or clearance stock, either. All you need to do is look at current stock of small household items (coffee tables, etc), that K Mart has, and then look for the same stuff here - you'll see what I mean.

If they choose 'out of stock' as the reason for the cancellation, then yes. But not if they choose one of the other ones, like 'there's a problem with the address'.

Waste of time and effort telling K Mart, they wouldn't do a thing. The balls out of their court now.

They CAN'T do anything. The item is the seller's.

 

Although, as an Australian company that doesn't sell rodent 'treats', I'm not sure how you would know. Given that Australian and rodent 'treats' seem to be mutually exclusive to you.

A lot of my games and DVDs bought over the past 20+ years were originally from Kmart too. And Big W, Target, Myer, EB Games, GameTraders, JB, Cash Converters, Salvos, Vinnies, Savers, local shops, markets, garage sales, other eBay sellers...
