The seller in question was selling items they didn’t have at a nearly 50% markup.

    You should suspect it for items with really long delays. They are waiting for a sale or new pricing. They sold you something they don’t have and don’t plan to send until they find it cheaply enough to hit their profit target.

    Meanwhile you could have bought from someone who actually has it, direct from the original seller without extra markup, or waited for the same sale they are

      Also you may be avoiding Amazon, but end up giving them your business against your wishes.

        This has been my issue. I’ll order something from a seller and it shows up two days later, delivered by Amazon.
