I bought a CD on eBay. It just arrived in an Amazon box, with a gift receipt, along with six metal rings -- evidently for horse bridles -- also with gift receipts.

The only possible explanation is that the eBay seller didn't even possess the CD. They sent it as a gift to me from Amazon, and added the 75¢ rings to hit the free shipping minimum.

And I paid way more on eBay than I would have on Amazon.

An Amazon envelope. Lying on top of it is the CD “Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs”; five sturdy-looking metal rings of varying diameters, with slim stickers looped onto them; and a pile of Amazon gift receipts that say “A gift for you”

@jsit surely you can find the CD on Amazon and see if that's the case?🤔

@jsit 😬seems like you might have gotten screwed.

@BeAware I definitely paid more than I needed to. I didn’t even check Amazon before checking eBay, as I reflexively avoid Amazon whenever possible. eBay has other listings at similar prices, though, and the seller had a good rating. What a weird racket.

@jsit grifters always find a way to grift, even if it's not very efficient.😅
