Does best buy work with ANY BG? Or do they just cancel?

Best Buy has an eBay site that usually works if they have the item.

Ebay bans you immediately though...

So should EMB be avoided?

There’s reasons to avoid every BG. To name a few:

EMB: lost packages, non existent customer service, wants labels for returns

BFMR: lots of BC deals, issues with some addresses

PM: BC deals, picky about packaging

BfP, MYS, USA: BC deals, slow scan, slow payments

BGR: BC deals, prices change

CNJ: BC deals

HH: need TE, not many deals

Gibs: not many Amazon deals

TDB: slow scanning. Can’t seem to catch up. Slow to return items.

I've been selling to PM since for just over a year now and generally only had really good experiences with them. One package from Amazon they claimed was never delivered - which apparently was an issue affecting all Amazon shipments to PM during a 2 day span in January 2022 - but other than that I can't complain. I've had a couple returns with them, but they've always made that process extremely quick/easy.

I would dispute "picky about packaging." I think it should be self-explanatory that taping together separate shipping boxes is a bad idea that's going to result in product damage.

Unfortunately, like almost all the rest, they have started doing more BC deals lately. I just avoid those. They still have a decent number of full retail and/or commission deals. And I really appreciate that they're the only BG I'm aware of that often provides shipping labels for non-Amazon deals. That's huge and has allowed me to do a ton of Dell deals.

I've also been done a few deals with EMB - all Amazon for full retail - and only had positive experiences with those, but recent stories on here have made me nervous about continuing with EMB.

It’s my first time buying for them. They were responsive in answering my questions on my signup questions, up to requesting payment. My payment has now in processing status for 7 business days. Since it’s my first time, I have no reference point and no one is responding. I opened a ticket, pm and email and got nothing. Is it normal for them to be like this? FAQ’s says paid within 3-4 days.
