Amazon selling my stock under their name
Hi there
maybe I'm a bit naive but why are amazon selling my stock as theirs? we by a product off a large global company (at a discount as we buy thousands) its the same product - same box same EAN. But the label added to our stock is ever so slightly different. Different printing method i think. Anyway amazon reduced the price so much lower that the price they should be buying it for (well according to the brand that sold it to us and the RRP's etc). so I bought one to see if it was legit stock. Anyway they sold me my own stock with my label on it! Is this normal practice? I know there is "co mingling" but if amazon just run out can they use our / your stock to fill their orders even if they cant get it from the brand?

You must surely understand that Amazon have a huge buying power and the brand would never tell you what they sell to Amazon for.
And if you are commingling, that’s your answer re the label.

As per the previous reply, that's what commingling can mean. Let's say you have 10 units in FBA and Amazon also have 10 units. I place an order from you for 10 units but Amazon's 10 units are closer to me so it's their stock i receive. They don't then have to close their listing as they're now out of stock - they now own your 10 units.

It is also possible that they're buying your stock from you to sell to the customer. I'd check to see if any f the units you've sold were sold to Amazon.
