Crap. My last two orders from eBay came in "Amazon Fulfillment Services" packaging.

One was untracked, and contained the wrong item.

I've been avoiding Amazon, but there was nothing in the listings to indicate Amazon would handle shipping, so no way to avoid sellers that use it.

Seems like you ordered on eBay, and then they purchased it and shipped it to you from Amazon. Intractable Mar 2 #2

Amazon has a near monopoly on warehousing and shipping consumer goods. Voltaire2 Mar 2 #3

Both had tracking, though. One had the wrong item.

The seller never had the item in their possession.

It is a truly awful company, and it is very difficult to avoid using it.
