I answered a Craigslist ad about an eCommerce company needing an Admin with eBay selling skills, own account and paypal. This person (or persons) want you and insist on you using your own eBay and Paypal accounts to help him sell his playstations and xbox consoles which happen to be new. He sounds very professional and will send you 'stock' photos of the consoles because, as he puts it: "they are brand new in the shipping box and don't want to open it just to take a picture of it".
Here's some of the email conversations we had before I fell for his scheme:
"Hello and thank you for your interest!
We are looking for people who could resell items for us on ebay.

"We are offering for drop shipping game consoles and some others electronic directly to your Ebay customers. Playstation 4 will be $375 and Xbox One - $369. Xbox One comes without Kinect at the price. Shipping will be done within 24 hours after we will get a payment from you in form of cash deposit into our Bank of America account
The UPS/USPS shipping is free and usually takes no longer than two/three business days. For a start, I suggest to sell just one console to understand the process, and later we could start to sell consoles in quantity. You may expect to sell at least 10 consoles per 24h and make around $35 per sale. References are available upon request
Let me know if you still interested, so I could email you details for the listing"
"Great, we could start with the trial by selling just one console before we do it in quantity. Could you please list the Playstation 4 and give me an ID# as soon as its done?

Stay clear from drop shippers that insist on you sending them money BEFORE sending the product to the customer with proof of the same.
