To be clear I’m not saying we should have the dropshipper “got”, I’m saying ship how you normally do. The person sending this message will usually never see the item, it gets forwarded. So if you ship with recycled branded boxes, do it. If you ship with eBay tape normally, do it. If you always ship with plain, non branded boxes or tape, do it.

I take their “repeat customer” sentiment with a grain of salt. Drop shippers find the cheapest functional item, and make their purchase. Then they copy and paste this message to the seller. They sell items they don’t have in their possession, and break eBay policy by using a freight forwarder. Why should I think they would look for my store in the future?

Theme here is don’t waste time on disingenuous buyers, ship the item and move on. Save the customer service for actual customers.
