Everything in eBay store is from Kmart

[miranda.snowy]

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

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.

Dropshipped items are almost never "the seller's", though. Not even briefly, as they're at K Mart and then sold / shipped to the buyer, only with a middleman on eBay effectively charging a 'spotter's fee'. The sellers are listing items that are not in their possession, where they have no official agreement to supply on behalf of K Mart, and can't know / guarantee stock levels. Caveat emptor, of course, but it's still a business that relies on 0 effort, and the ignorance of customers

I don't know how much K Mart would care, to be honest, but as I mentioned previously, the practice itself probably isn't against any rules, but it does involve some optional, legally questionable aspects (ref: the content of listings, not the listings themselves).

But Dave, KMart does sell rodent traps treats. The difference is, they're legal to obtain.

Well, that stops Michelle buying them.

Totally agree Kmart store sells these cushions and Beach Trolleys that are double the price on Ebay so look for items on Kmart website before buying on Ebay that is the way around this issue of not paying soooo much more for the same items.

It all depends on the buyers location.....KMart has a limited delvery area before the delivery charges become ridiculous.

You woud need to know the delivery charges from KMart as well as the ebay seller to know which is the best buy.

Many of these sellers are using K Mart as dropshippers, so wherever K Mart won't ship to, neither will the eBay seller. 

[davewil1964]

Then the solution is to buy from Kmart rather than eBay.

As always, caveat emptor applies.

I can't remember what the others are, but that's at least an historical reference and a foreign language.

I think big words was another thing.

I am totally discombobulated

The Schnürsenkel of Time is just the sort of thing to trip one up.

Of course, it was perfectly expressed in that melodramatic incestuous bloodthirsty play of John Ford: "O, my torment, – thou this hour had'st dyed, Soranzo – heate above hell fire! – Yet ere I passe away, – cruell, cruell flames, – Take here my curse amongst you." One has only to substitute the name "Soranzo" with "Kmart", and the thing is done.

No, wait. First I must contemplate how scarab beetles were mummified by the Ancient Egyptians, and then finally I can contemplate absquatulating this post.
