I hadn't thought of that.


I had thought that the items being sold don't have to be shipped to the seller. Most of us wouldn't since not having the item in hand while selling isn't a good practice. But if you trust someone to ship when they need to, it's doable. Like if I listed something for a family member in another state but they kept it and shipped when it sold.

Not that that's what's going on here.
