Hi,
You're on the right track. I have a website which explains all of this at eStorefrontGuide.com .
However, you should know that in the beginning of any real drop ship business, after the customer buys the product from your website then you have to buy the product from the distributor by credit card or wire transfer and then the distributor will ship the product directly to your customer most of the time with your company name on the box. After you have done business with the distributors for while then they may give you net credit terms.
But the only way to become successful is to work hard on your estore, download a professional website template at TemplateMonster.com and promote your store everywhere and in every way you can. Don't just focus on eBay. Use eBay to get more traffic to your website.
Don't bother with affiliate stores where they tell you they will give you a store and you sell their products as that is well played out.
You have to start your own business, your own company name, your own logo, your own domain name, your own website, your own merchant account to ensure that you get paid all the profits daily instead of monthly such as how affiliate programs work.
Hope this helps..
