Im having trouble finding an overseas wholesale furniture company that I can list their products on my web page for my customers to view and select their order. Then I will also need information on a secured online payment section where they can make a purchase. Finally, how I get my product I purchased to my customers address with a guarantee? Please help!

it sounds like you want to dropship furniture from an overseas manufacturer without having to warehouse anything. That is going to be difficult since most "reputable" overseas companies are going to have minimum orders (container sizes) since the cost involved in shipping one piece of furniture or even a bedroom set would be cost prohibited.
My question is why do you need an overseas operation to begin with? There are plenty of US companies that offer distributors discounts and will dropship product. All of the major furniture makers (ethan allen, broyhill, etc.) have closed up their US plants and are making the furniture overseas as it is. There are still some US companies that would welcome new distributers. Check out the furniture market in Highpoint NC for a listing of manufacturers.
If you insist on going oversees check out these websites: www.alibaba.com; www.fuzing.com or www.ttnet.net They list various companies with thousands of products for import.
As far as a secured online payment, if you are a startup I suggest using Paypal's shopping cart feature. THat way you don't actually need a merchant account and can accept virtually any kind of payment. It is a little involved to download to your website but doable.
If you are dropshipping you will always run the risk of your supplier back ordering a product at which point you need to stay ontop of your customer service and either issue a refund or keep them informed. It has definitely caused problems for some people selling on ebay! You really need to be confident in your supplier and his supplies before listing a product for sale.

I think Sri Vidya Rajgopalan has given the correct answer. But the Answer is very long. Let me explain you in short. Ram built a Bridge instead of ship because he thought, if in the war with Ravana more army of Varana is required then it will be easy to bring reinforcement through a Bridge Than to send ship.
