Seller not on dropshipper list

[Cali Craft and Gems 14]

I almost fell off my chair when I noticed the below item on the Crazy Wednesday listings closing tonight:

 

http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/121075867/I0041947_Beautiful_Onyx_Agate_Slice_pendant_bead.html

 

(we sell the exact same items in our shop at R30 and I hand select them from my suppliers in CT)

 

Then I nearly choked on a hairball when I saw the shipping that this seller is charging:

 

Shipping method Shipping details

• Economy Worldwide Shipping (4-5 Weeks Delivery | No Insurance | No Box | No Tracking Number) R60.00 for each item

• Standard Worldwide Shipping (10 Days Delivery | No Insurance | No Box | No Tracking Number) R75.00 for the first item

R70.00 each additional item

• Economy Worldwide Shipping (4-5 Weeks Delivery | No Insurance | With Box | No Tracking Number) R85.00 for the first item

R185.00 each additional item

• Standard Worldwide Shipping (10 Days Delivery | With Insurance | With Box | With Tracking Number) R240.00 for the first item

R205.00 each additional item

 

So this item is imported and is not "in stock"?

 

To be sure I was not missing anything, I checked the dropshipper list and this seller is nowhere on this list.

 

Personally, I feel rather sorry for the buyer of this item as their bid far exceeds the maximum value of this item... plus the exhorbitant shipping fees (which are higher on the R1 auctions versus the seller's regular listings).

List updated, thank you.

Good day.

Where can we see the list of Sellers with permission to do drop shipping, as i saw these days there are more and more dropshippers, and most Sellers have to invest R200K-R500K just to keep in business.

Now I'm lost. "list updated"? I thought it was decided that there will be no more dropshippers authorized. Can someone please clarify this.

Hi Cheryl,

 

The list is not complete, we add them as they are reported and turn out to be previously approved.

Drop shipping is a "racket", why not ban drop shipping all together? After all, it is just another way to make money with no investment. These dropshippers score on shipping charges even if the closing bid is R1.00! I don't think Bid or Buy will do this because "every cent counts" or "anything for "an extra few bucks"! It also impairs local sellers chances of seling goods they import and pay for. I am in that category and I often lose out big time!
