Dropshipping

Hi guys, just wanted to make sure as ebay has flagged me for dropshipping. Am i allowed to dropship items from amazon to ebay, from different suppliers. So technically i would buy the product once its sold on my ebay account. Ebay has contacted me and said that, I am not allowed to sell items which I dont own. Would love some insight due to quarantine, and lack of income.

no, that isn't 'dropshipping, and it isn't allowed

proper 'dropshipping' is where you have an account with a company and they ship directly to your buyer when the item is sold

what you are doing is against the rules

also proper dropshippers have to have a business account with ebay

adding to the advice already given -

Passing on your customers details without their permission is actually breaking the law.
