Amazon Donated My Inventory Without Asking.... -

We've talked on many occasions about the importance of monitoring your inventory on a regular basis as Amazon has the tendency to "misplace" a lot of inventory without telling you or reimbursing you.  It's one of Amazon's fonder characteristics.

When you looking at inventory reports, transfers of all sorts have corresponding letters that tell you what has happened during the transferring (relabeling, damaged, lost, etc.)

My current service Glasshouse Inventory noticed letter G on one of the reports which was a new one for them and the inventory was missing after the transfer corresponding to G.  They asked Amazon for clarification on what the "G" was for.

Well this is a new one for me:

So it seems that Amazon donated my inventory to charity. That's really sweet of them but not something you usually do with other people's stuff.  Granted they admitted it was a mistake but I wonder if they were going to take a tax deduction for it too!



What was the ASIN for it?  B00X3B16YW 

A green Apple Watch, the gift that keeps on giving.  The person who got it from charity probably returned it back to Amazon without the watch in the box so I can sell it again as new and get a another return...

Apple Watch 38mms On sale on eBay for $330

I don't really have time to go through everything but I didn't want people to miss this.

$330 on eBay Apple Watch 38mms
$400 on Amazon - both colors.

They have sold well for me in the past - less than 100 left of each.  5 per buyer.

After fees, you will get $360 if you sell for $400 and then about $1 for shipping if you send 5.

2% Shop at Home or whatever portal you want
2% eBay Bucks
2% credit card or eBay Gift cards.

Not too much competitions so this should work well.

I'm using AA shopping.  You will get 1 mile and then a 5,000 mile bonus for spending over $1,200

Discover Enforcing Gift Card Exclusion for Apple Pay!

Update:  Discover is also sending out emails that give one time courtesies.  I don't really know what to make of that and who gets what.  I received both and only received one one time courtesy, though others report multiple one time courtesies.

Holy Cow!

I just got an email from Discover that said the following:

I assumed Discover would not have the ability to see what you purchased.  Apparently I was wrong!  It's a good thing I've been mostly doing merchandise reselling with it!


I have many such email from Discover.  I don't remember buying so many gift cards, but it is possible.  I will have to go back and look at my transactions and possibly submit receipts.  We'll see how this develops. It could be that they are sending emails to anyone who is consistently spending a lot of money with Apple Pay.  The logical explanation being they are buying gift cards.  Already some readers are saying that they received the email and never bought a gift card with Apple Pay.

You are hereby forewarned!  Keep your receipts when you Apple Pay!
