   I bought a CD on eBay. It just arrived in an Amazon box, with a gift receipt, along with six metal rings -- evidently for horse bridles -- also with gift receipts.

   The only possible explanation is that the eBay seller didn't even possess the CD. They sent it as a gift to me from Amazon, and added the 75¢ rings to hit the free shipping minimum.

   And I paid way more on eBay than I would have on Amazon.

     @jsit surely you can find the CD on Amazon and see if that's the case?🤔

     @jsit grifters always find a way to grift, even if it's not very efficient.😅

     @BeAware I definitely paid more than I needed to. I didn’t even check Amazon before checking eBay, as I reflexively avoid Amazon whenever possible. eBay has other listings at similar prices, though, and the seller had a good rating. What a weird racket.
