I bought something off Facebook marketplace that turned out to be someone proxying Amazon. I respect the hustle on that one, I suppose I deserved it for not checking more throughly.

Lol! I think this AliExpress shop was doing the same probably. Just maybe more automated (maybe).

  Those sellers post their stuff on every marketplace they can, and just fulfill it through their Amazon store. Ebay, Etsy, Walmart, Best Buy, etc, are all full of Amazon sellers.

    That’s about what I was thinking. Can’t entirely fault the sellers, everybody’s got their hustle to keep their heads above water.
    
    But goddamn that should ring alarm bells for any policymaker who gives a shit. (I know, I know)
