Things that make you go hmmmmm.

[uncleleroy]

No way am I having my suppliers ship directly to Amazon. Last thing I need is for Amazon to jump on any more listings of mine.

[Southern Jewel's Fab Finds]

Agreed!
I. Am. Not. Doing. This.
No way.
No how.

But why?
Are there really sellers scrambling to have this service?

[uncleleroy]

Yes, there are many sellers that do this. Some do it with the product they order from Alibaba/China. Others use it to ship directly to Amazon. It would make sense if Amazon itself wasn't selling anything because it would save on time and added shipping expenses. But since Amazon likes to steal seller's vendor data and then strike a deal with the vendor directly, I wouldn't do it.

My thoughts exactly.

^^^^ This! ^^^^
Yeah, let's all give Amazon our sources for our products 

But since Amazon likes to steal seller's vendor data. . .

exactly.

 It always amazes me when I run across vendors that freely share or expose their sources.   E.g., at fairs and trade shows I often see boxes in the recycle bins or trash areas with the return address still attached.  smh

I've gotten a couple of them like that. Gotta love dumpster diving!
