In Business typically where goods are shipped direct from factory to customer ...
On eBay, where the SELLER pays money to some 3rd party (who may be the Manufacturer or just some-one who hods stock) and that 3rd party then delivers the goods to the BUYER.
Thus, for example, you may win an Auction placed by a UK Seller where the 'Item location' is shown as UK, however the goods may be shipped from Hong Kong, Canada or China ... and you then get 'done' for Import Duty, VAT and penalty charges ..
When you complain they point at their tiny tiny print buried away in their 200 scroll page 'terms & conditions' at the words 'Drop Shipped. Buyer is responsible for all Tax incurred' (but you leave them Negative Feedback anyway).

If you plan to sell items on eBay or on your own website you can use a dropshipper. You advertise their product. When you make the sale, you contact your dropshipper and have them ship the product to your customer. The dropshipper will put your name on the package and send it directly to your customer. There are many dropshippers out there. They want to make money too so they all have some form of fee structure. Type in drop shipping in Yahoo or Google and you will find out more details. Hope this helped a bit!
