I hate it when I buy from an #Aussie seller only to have my item #dropshipped from #Amazon.
It happened again this morning.
I’ve been #boycotting Amazon, so I find drop ships from them very annoying.

@silverjam A few years back I went down a similar rabbithole.
I got a (possibly targeted?) ad for a coffee grinder. Specifically the #Niche Zero grinder. I am familiar with it and I know it's a (at the time) $700 USD product.
The #scammer had a market place set with a great deal of luxury items, all were very cheap vs retail. So, giving in to curiosity, I paid $24 through Paypal and was curious to see what I'd get.
7 weeks later, a clearly #dropshipped, $10, Chinese-made, hand grinder showed up on my doorstep.
I opened a claim quickly but the scammer naturally rebuked my claim of "Did not receive product" and #Paypal denied me. However, I had saved every detail, the ad, the market, all the details of the (by then defunct) website. As well as some generic data on the owner, the products, etc.
Then I unloaded this #asston of data on Paypal's claims department. Detailing how they were clearly a scammer, how his website had sold 100 clearly fake products, even providing shipping information that showed the package I received was 400gram not possibly the ~5,000g+ Niche Zero.
In the end, I got all my money back now I have an okay little hand grinder that allowed me to make coffee when I had a power outage. :D
