Recently there has been a lot of talk about dropshipping on amazon.
Most plans involve finding a separate company to provide goods, and dropshipping them via amazon.
I am currently getting my feet wet in dropshipping, only I plan to use a supplier on amazon as my source. e.g. I list a dvd for 16 dollars, someone buys it, then I buy it from the amazon listing for 12 dollars with their shipping address.
Obviously this is traceable/detectable but my question is, does amazon care? Do they ban people for this? I've heard of bans but they all involve seller misconduct like accidentally selling fake goods, or having goods not arrive.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. If amazon is not that strict about this then I could probably do this reliably from the same account without them caring. On the other hand if they are very strict I would probably have to get a separate debit card or bank account so I can anonymously purchase the items from a separate account/IP, keeping my seller account and buyer account separate. But I don't want to have to do this because I don't have an extra bank account.
