Bit harsh to leave negative feedback...
This is nothing new, friend of mine has been doing it for years, she lists DVD box sets & Blu-Rays on Ebay for a few £ more than Amazon then simply orders from Amazon against all her Ebay orders using her Ebay customer details as Amazon shipping details. Averages a couple of hundred a day, holds zero stock and has no shipping hassles.
Seriously OP, that negative feedback is just insane.
If that's the case, start complaining about every product you buy that isn't straight from China, even then, there're potentially a middle man making a profile from the pennies saved.
If you're happy with the initial price, thus you've made the purchase, then move on. Let it be a lesson to shopping around. Wining and making someone's business sound like a scam when that's exactly how business works just sounds like shows you more of a fool than the seller.

Haven't read through the whole thread but remember reading this is how stolen card data is used.
You've paid the eBay seller who has used the card data to buy from Amazon and send to you. You get what you paid for, seller gets money and Amazon lose out.

The seller doesn't get the card data as it's likely through Paypal. What's more likely happened is the eBay seller has taken the received funds and bought it on behalf of the buyer and then had it shipped to them with the information that they provided.

What card data? I thought all ebay transactions were via Paypal.
Not the same thing in this case, by a long shot.
I think you misunderstand (I did too, on first read)
They steal a card, then list a load of Amazon stuff on Ebay, use the stolen card to buy the goods from Amazon, and pocket the Ebay proceeds.
Not that I think that's likely to be what happened here, of course.
The ebay seller is paid through Paypal, but the seller doesn't have the item to sell. Once the eBay item is sold they will then buy it from whichever online store has it in stock and send directly to the ebay buyer.
The ebay seller would have bought hundreds of card details from some dodgy side. Keep registering with online store until one works.
Happened to me once with a book, last time I checked amazon it was more exp but when I purchased it via ebay it was more expensive than amazon (where it then came from).
I wasn't too annoyed but if I had been it'd have been with myself not the seller.
Good on the seller and shame on the OP for leaving negative feedback when he received the item he paid for.
Edit: Shame seller can't spell dispatch mind, probably some 14 year old?

Not expensive enough.

Ah always clear cache ect after browsing things on there. Saves what you looked at and can increase price.
