Etsy actually has even more of a problem with dropship queens. Interestingly, I got a shoe rack for free because it was a double dropship from AE to Amazon to Etsy. LOL!

I've noticed that too and gave up trying to report when I realized Etsy is funny enabling it.

    I did this for an eBay listing that was actually drop shipped to me and the seller is still up, selling Amazon items for +$10. I hope Etsy is a little more active against them.

What is a dropship queen?

    I had to google what dropshipping was, but it seems to be when your company relists products from other websites and when a customer orders them from you, you place the order on the other website with their address. Basically, a shopping consultancy. You no longer need to maintain inventory.

      Not really. There's multiple kinds of dropshipping sources, be it ecomm, wholesalers, or manufacturers. Dropshipping is when a seller has their vendor send customers their orders directly. It can be JIT fulfillment but it depends on the vendors' ability to source product. No one really wants to hold inventory because it deprecates.

      My company does dropshipping when we can’t fulfill things directly. This has an order of magnitude more shipment errors and our vendors have no incentive to improve their reliability because shipping things isn’t a core competency, but rather an annoying necessity.
