I read through the options--they could be drop shipping themselves. Why not? They are offering sales on their website. Obviously they are shipping those out themselves. Why would they pay someone else to warehouse and ship when they have a very nice distribution center all set up?
Here are the options listed: I think AAPT is using the first option. But I am just guessing, and I don't think it matters.
Here are quotes about selling on Sears marketplace clicked on under Pawtizer and follow through when it said learn more.

how does it work?
There are three ways sellers partner with us:
Sold and shipped by seller
Marketplace items are shipped directly from our sellers to you.
Sellers are responsible for all returns and customer service.
Sold by seller, shipped by Sears
Marketplace items are shipped from Sears’ own warehouse to you.
Sears is responsible for all returns and customer service.
Advertised on Sears by seller
Marketplace items are advertised on Sears.com but are actually purchased from the seller’s web site (using the “Go to Site” button).
Once on the seller’s site, any purchase you make is processed through that seller’s checkout. They have sole responsibility for the entire transaction.
Marketplace at sears.com means more. More from sears. More for you. More of everything.
