Can you sell someone else’s chametz? Even if they appoint you as a שליח, all you are doing is delivering someone’s words to the one selling chametz and we say “מילי לא ממסרי לשליח” – you can’t be a שליח to deliver words? How then, does it work?
Can we apply the concept of זכין לאדם שלא בפניו? Do we also say זכין מאדם שלא בפניו?
