eBay allows you to sell as a dropshipper:

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/posting-items/setting-postage-options/drop-shipping?id=4176

It is a terrible idea and the fast road to disaster, however.

You have no control over an item's availability, quality, condition, or shipping. But you are responsible when a buyer is unhappy with any of those things. You take considerable risk for very little reward. Dropshippers are constantly being permanently suspended from eBay, because too many transactions go bad.

To add the final insult, the dropshipper is probably supplying hundreds of other eBay sellers, all of you competing for the same few dollars. And, if the supplier is in China, the merchandise is the same stuff we can buy here any day of the week at dollar and discount stores, for less than you could ever sell it for.

Think long and hard, and do some serious study, if you're considering dropshipping.

Might be all that is possible 🤔

Ebay policy doesn't allow drop-shipping. Avoid drop-shipping on this platform!

Good luck!

Consider as well, even if you don't use a supplier in China (known for poor quality and counterfeit items), if the products were so wonderful they would be selling them themselves and would not need you.

if dropshipping was so great wouldn't the dropshipper just go ahead and sell the items on eBay instead of giving you a product catalog to list their products?

You also put yourself at risk if you use a dropshipper from China.

China is the Counterfeit Capital of the World.

That should tell you something about them. And their products.
