They have plenty of methods to evaluate your selling activity using their very sophisticated bots - and they will never let you know how they did it cause they don't want you to figure out ways around it.

Because it will be hard for me to buy the items then ship them to Egypt and pay all the customs fees which is high then ship them again to other countries like United states will take too long.

it is retail arbitrage,like Ebay said,you take the customer money and then use it to buy from another ReTAILER and ask that retailer to ship.
retail to retail is NO NO.
You said you are in Egypt,Ebay can tell you are shipping from US,is it AMZN warehouse?
did you upload a tracking number,how does that number look like

They compare the listing zip code location to the tracking acceptance scan location. It's for 'accurate' delivery estimates for the 'guaranteed' delivery hoax.
Do your listing zip codes match your distributor's location? Should be fine as long as they are cool with not including the invoice.

Did you add a tracking number? If they look into a tracking number they may be able to see who's actually shipping the item.
Did you mention it to a customer via eBay message?
Are you using stock images? I think eBay scans every photo and matches it with similar photos around the web. If the same images are on Ali Express, perhaps they make an easy assumption.

If you have received the dropshipping email then your listings will be " ghosted " for a period of time
