eBay Dropship, Can I do that?
Use dropshippers on eBay? Yes you can! eBay does prefer for all of their sellers to actually have the products they are selling on hand, but you can use dropship suppliers or fulfillment centers to ship the sold products for you.

Why does eBay prefer you have the items in stock yourself? So you can insure that the products are ready for delivery immediately after the items are sold. This will greatly help your feedback! Backorders and slow delivery times, not in your control, create lower feedback scores and everyone knows that feedback is VERY important on eBay!

Ways to Get Around Potential eBay Dropship Problems...

1. 
Inventory Lists
Use suppliers that have real time inventory. It can either be posted on their site or if they send you an updated list everyday via email. Pay attention to the inventory amounts, so you won't run into backorder problems.
2. 
Communication
Keep in good constant contact with your supplier. A simple email asking them how many of a particular item they have in stock, is not hard to do, and the supplier would be more than happy to share this information!
3. 
Request Holds
If you are listing a multiple auction on eBay, and you want to try to sell 10 of them items at once, then ask the supplier if they would be willing to hold 10 of those items for the duration of your auction. If the items don't sell, make sure to let your supplier know that they don't need to hold those items any longer.
4.
