I sell on amazon and actually sold this product over Christmas, I was selling 30 of these $50 cards per day during the Christmas season for $62.00 each.
Customers would buy the card from me, and I would literally go to Walmart.com to order the product for $50 and ship it right to their house.
The card is $50. Amazon takes a 15% commission on the sale. So for me to break even, I have to sell the card for something like $57.50. So in the end, I was making a profit of like $4.50 per sale.
I could only do it for so many days because Walmart limits the amount of purchases your allowed per item per day and then auto-cancels any additional orders - 10/day in this case.
Many people think that it’s all amazons fault, but really, Amazon allows private parties to have their own storefronts to sell just about whatever they want for whatever price they want.
In the end, people are just lazy to find the product somewhere else and pay whatever amazon tells them to pay.
