How do I go about the whole dropshipping process after a customer orders?
I know I can get the answers on the web.
But I want to hear from experienced sellers as well.
Any information or resources will appreciated.

Drop shipping from Ali Express. You wont last long on Ebay before Ebay closes your store and bans you from ever selling on Ebay again.

That does not sound like drop shipping.
Sounds more like retail arbitrage which is not allowed on eBay.

thanks so much for the honest feedbacks. Any information on the right way to sell successfully on eBay?

Have your inventory on hand and ship the items yourself. That is what is allowed on Ebay. If you have other merchants shipping for you than you will not last long before you are suspended.

Experienced sellers would tell you to avoid drop shipping like the plague. Risky business plan that usually turns out badly.

There are so many gifted artists and crafters in Africa. Beautiful hand made items, clothing, fabrics, the list goes on. Why not invest in something like what I just mentioned and represent your beautiful country? You'll find out that drop shipping will not be in your best interest as others have advised. I would go to the bazaars and markets in your area and see what you can find. You might be surprised how many people collect items from other countries. Just a suggestion. Beads are really big here in the US as well. Check it out.
Good luck.

Thanks to everyone for contributing. Having an agent is my next option.
They do the entire process as I would as a seller and I pay them for it.

I own several beautiful hand-carved 7"-12" wooden pieces from Africa.
Lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants-(though I think there is a lot of competition for elephant figurines.).
My favorite is a black carved wooden lion I have.

Thanks so much for that input. I consider that.
