Quite possible mass exodus of US based companies from Amazon.

I basically start with aliexpress and work my way around ebay and amazon searching the same item as to me its all just a smoke and mirrors chinese distrabution network with subsidized free shipping paid for by the western countries taxes...

These Chinese companies play games for sure. The same thing happens here with ebay and the "US Stock" sellers. They may indeed keep a small warehouse to hold a few of each item that they sell, and will ship over and replenish in a revolving manner, but I suspect they also just fly in stuff from overseas and ship it out via FedEx/UPS from the hubs. I have noticed that all of the "US Stock" ebay sellers are based out of international hubs - LA, Chicago, New Jersey, and Memphis in particular.
