Amazon doesn't add the items to their inventory. Someone who has one to sell (a VENDOR) lists the item for sale with Amazon. If it is "Fulfilled by Amazon", that just means that the vendor sent the item to one of Amazon's warehouse, and then Amazon send the item to the buyer after the sale.

If it isn't "Fulfilled by Amazon", when the item is sold, the vendor ships the item directly to the customer.
