Zero Inventory
Any E Commerce Business will love to have zero inventory in stock, yet do a lot of sales.
This is possible with drop shipping operations.
Drop Ship Supplier
Basically, you find a reliable supplier who maintains inventory of items that you want to sell, negotiate price with the supplier and get the list of items.
Turn around the order to your drop ship supplier and let them directly ship it to your customers.
You pocket the difference between the price you sell and the price you buy.
Sounds simple right. The Devil is in the Details.
Challenges in Drop Ship Business
Your pricing should be carefully modeled so that you still make profit but at the same time remain competitive in the market.
Closely monitor the shipping of orders in time by your drop ship suppliers.
Ensure that you get updated price list, stock position from your drop ship suppliers. You will have to periodically adjust your price and stock availability according to the information from your suppliers.

One or Many Drop Ship Suppliers
Dealing with few drop ship suppliers with a large variety of stocks is much easier than dealing with multiple suppliers with a small list of inventory.
Also the market place or your online stores should be large enough to justify the volume of business and transaction costs.
