I agree! You're much safer if you have the products on hand prior to listing them. I think dropshipping will be beneficial if you have a website but not on ebay. eBay totally changed that policy already where you can get your funds held by paypal because you're selling items that you don't have on hand. But if you have a merchant account, you can try that route but I rather have the products on hand at least you have full control over describing, packaging, etc....
