Most individual items are already marked up too much for you to resell at a worthwhile profit. Selling through drop shippers elsewhere allows you to offer items you don't need to buy in advance or stock, the drop shipper ships it directly to your customer. Because they do most of the work the drop shipper may be earning more profits than you, they typically don't provide you real wholesale prices.
Just search Drop Shipper

It's extremely competitive and difficult now that foreign drop shippers are dominating the user base, seller policies are much stricter, and sales are automatically reported to the IRS. You'd do much better buying on eBay and selling on craigslist or a similar site.
Join eBay's discussion groups and read up on the seller central forum to get an idea of what eBay sellers have to put up with these days.
Yes you can, but eBays fees are very high. You will pay 10% like Supah Dupa man said and you will also sometimes pay a listing fee. If you are going to do that, go through Woot or dhgate

I'm not really sure on which items, it usually is one of the adult items like cigars and stuff.
You can sell whatever the hell you want for as much as you want. You just need to find somebody to buy it. Only thing is, remember how you have to pay like 10% on everything you sell. It's hard to make a profit doing that, unless you're refurbishing.
do what everybody else on ebay does...sell cheap, mass produced, chinese crap.
I want to make money by buying stuff on ebay and reselling it. Is that against the ebay rules? And if not what are some cheap things I can buy and resell on ebay. I have a lot of xbox games and I sold most of them on ebay for a good price but is there anything else that is hot on ebay?
