You're going to find it very difficult to make any money using dropshippers or wholesale merchandise. There is just too much competition in those areas and you'll be luck to break even after all your ebay fees and the items that don't sell.

Collectibles. That is the only wau for small time sellers to make a decent amount anymore on eBay. Go to garage sales, estate sales, library sales, flea markets, etc and pick up collectibles. It will take some time to learn what will and won't sell, but it's the only way to make the ebay business worthwhile in my opinion.
