Yea, you as the seller can tell whether your items are going to get commingled.

As a buyer I have no idea (unless there is a way to see this now, as a buyer..). So I kind of have to assume that everything fulfilled by Amazon is.

Yeah, absolutely. I was just saying how it works.

I also misunderstood what you said, I thought you meant buying sold and shipped from Amazon avoided commingled inventory. You actually said the opposite.

As a seller I can tell if an item is allowed to be commingled if I add it to my inventory. You can't tell before you add it to your inventory as far as I know. Buyer has no idea. It seems random for what they forbid to commingle. Like one particular hard drive but not others.

If you buy from a third party seller you have no idea if they opted into commingled inventory or not.
