4- Build a retailer account with the supplier:

Contact the supplier you want to join and ask how to become a retailer of their items. Ask also if they offer drop shipping service. make sure they will add your store name and address on the shipment so that your customers assume you deliver the products.

5- List your items on eBay.

When listing your items for sale on eBay try be more professional. Do not just copy-paste supplier’s description. Instead, make your own unique SEO optimized title and description. Use the best clear images. And if it is possible to have a video it will make you stand out. Furthermore, you must price your items strategically, items should be priced low enough to compete with other sellers who sell the same items, also it should be high enough to make a good profit.

6- When your item is sold contact your supplier.

When a buyer’s ordered from you go to your supplier and buy the same item that your customer has ordered. Provide the supplier with your customer address so that they will be able to send the item directly to your customer.

Notes:

1-If you have a new PayPal account and you use PayPal as a form of payment, be informed that PayPal may freeze your money for a period of 21 days until the product is received by your customer. And as you know PayPal and eBay are now separated companies so it is important that you read any updated policy they may have issued.

2-Always be sure that the supplier can supply your items constantly. From time to time, you may want to ask the supplier of the number of items still available. Ask the supplier if they have email or phone notification about their items quantity. Again it will be a big problem for you to sell an item that is not available. This will lead to bad feedback and thus fewer sales.

3-In order to buy items at a wholesale price, many suppliers will ask you for a tax ID so make sure you already have one.

3-Once your item is sent, follow up to make sure it sent on time and as described.
