I have just made my first amazon account. I do not have anything to sell yet, but I was thinking of listing Walmart products. If someone orders, I go to the store, buy and ship it. Will this work?
.
NB: I am very new to this, will appreciate some help

If Amazon suspect you are engaging in retail arbitrage they will suspend you.
It's one of their pet hates and appeal success is rare.

Many get the ball rolling this way but in the long run it is not ideal as Amazon may one day request invoice/s and you will not have them, only receipts.
Plus if customers end up finding the same product for cheaper, this may result in expensive returns / bad feedback.

That's retail arbitrage and Amazon will soon or later find out and suspend you.
If you wanna experience it yourself and make it work, it's up to you of course

Good option may be going to your local thrift stores, garage sales, etc... and sourcing some products.

| It's still retail arbitrage, dropshipping isn't prohibited if done correctly.
The point their making is that Amazon hate folk buying 'on demand' from stores and shipping it themselves, but if you were stupid enough to get it shipped by the retailer to the customer you're compounding the problem and will face an almost certain ban if they complain.

He said he will go to WMT,buy the goods,come home and package it his way with his return address and ship it to you,nothing wrong with that,if he is willing to do the work.
Retail arbitrage definition is taking customer money and ask another Retailer to ship the item to your customer.
Both Ebay and AMZN do not like it,but there are some Ebay sellers who have their inventory in AMZN warehouse,so they are not arbitraging,they are asking AMZN to do the shipping for them,this is fine with ebay if the sellers can prove

yo have to ship your goods to AMZN and when someone orders from you,AMZN will do the packing and shipping for you,of course this is going to cost you.
Some distributor.manufacturer find it better ,instead of opening warehouse,now they can have their products ship to different AMZN warehouse around the world.
AMZN does not dispose your merchandise for you.if they become worthless or unsaleable.
