[QEUSTION] Amazon to eBay - eBay Prices Lower than Amazon?

[Fiberoptic]

I have been doing some Amazon to eBay dropshipping for a little while and I have found that many items on eBay are lower than the amazon seller.

For example, this 240 pack of colored pencils is sold on Amazon for $35.05.

Crayola Classpack 240ct Colored Pencils

On eBay there is a seller that has baffled me with his uncanny prices that are lower than the Amazon products:

In order to sell an item on eBay that is $35 and make a $2 profit, you would have to pay $29 AND that's without S&H costs. This fellow sells many items for less than the Amazon supplier.

Therefore, I have concluded people like this are doing one of 2 things.

1. Making a dropship deal with the distributor, i.e. Crayola to list on eBay.

2. Purchasing wholesale from the distributor, storing it and shipping it without using Amazon FBA.

Perhaps there is something I am missing?

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!
