Purchasing from an Ebay seller and shipping

[brownsuga]

I have 2 items that I sell and I find it more cost effective to purchase it from an ebay seller and have him ship it to my customers.

The problem I have is the tracking information. When I enter the tracking number from the seller it keeps coming up "already used on another ebay order"

How do I get around this?

I don't see any way around this.

But there are a lot of smart people around here, maybe somebody has a great idea.

However, this is dropshipping, and MOST ( not all, but most ) people find leaving your business success in the hands of somebody else doesn't really work well long for them long term.
