The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

    Dropshipping itself isn’t evil, it just means the retail orders from the supplier (sometimes the manufacturer) on demand, but scalping or other resellers are quite bad yes.

      If someone wants to pay more for something, and is made aware they can purchase the item elsewhere for cheaper, and still wishes to then that’s their prerogative. I don’t like being cheated or mislead.

      It’s not evil, you’re providing a service by offering the product in a more familar environment to people, but still it’d be good to be transparent about it rather than pretending you’re the seller
