Two absolutely fundamental business skills are knowing where to source product at the best price, and knowing how and where to find a market for that product.
The fact that you bought whatever it was at the price you agreed suggests you were happy to pay it. If you got the product you ordered, at the price you were happy with, why do you care?
I know a few people that have, quite literally, made hundreds of millions for their employer and millions for themselves doing exactly the same thing .... with foreign currency. You buy it cheap and sell it for more, and make a profit. Do it often enough, on sufficient volumes, and you're a multi-millionaire, and they do it simply by moving numbers around in computers, because that's all the vast bulk of 'money', foreign or not, actually is.
If this is a kid in his bedroom, he's a bright one, with probably a promising future.
Oh, and it's exactly the same principle that got Alan Sugar, among others, started, just in the modern online idiom. Buy something low, sell it higher, and restock. If, as a seller, you can cut out shipping from supplier to yourself, and yourself to end customer, the whole process is faster, less error prone, and cheaper.
What you paid for in him presumably making a profit was his time, ingenuity and knowledge. After all, if he bought from Amazon, you could have too, had you thought of it and spent the time checking it out.
I've made my living most of my life by selling time, ingenuity, expertise and knowledge. And those paying for it were very happy that they got value for money, too.
