eBay Businesses to Start or Drop-Shipping Ideas

Hey,
I need to get some income coming in here. I have a sellers eBay account that I've used since 2007. This helps me a lot because I have racked up tons of seller/buyer feedback over these 15 years. This helps you get more listings as eBay limits that amount to newer accounts. My feedback is 100% with over 500 transactions. So I think I got myself over that hump already.
I currently am reselling bulk purchased items, random things, pretty much what you'd expect someone to sell on eBay. Garage sale type things but usually new. The wholesale reselling is very profitable right now but it's a niche item and I don't know for a how long it will be popular. I have the items present here so I am responsible for the shipping.
I heard of drop-shipping my entire life but never looked into how people do it on eBay "without getting banned". I found this video last night while trying to find eBay store ideas and damn it was convincing. Check it out.
The idea is you list an item at a cheaper price and source it from somewhere else like AliExpress who then ships it to the customer.
I'm not trying to really do this as i can see it exploding in my face pretty easily. Wrong products being sent, shitty wish like items. I worked hard to maintain this account and rating and have spent personal money making things right to maintain my feedback..
I'm trying to think what I could resell on ebay consistently to keep a store front up? I'd like to be the person handling the orders and shipping so I could know what I'm doing. I have been thinking about Loose leaf teas of some sort? Buy in bulk large and break it up. Man I just don't know. Please anyone with ideas I'm open to reselling most of anything that I can profit from and isn't sketchy + niche market on ebay.

Ok I'm pretty convinced myself that the easiest thing here to do would be to buy bulk quantities of select teas off Alibaba and resell as individual packages on eBay.
https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=Hibiscus+Tea+Loose+Leaf
Minimum order quantities and stuff going to be a pain. Def want to start small not trying to order 10 kilos of tea to start haha

The tea is a pretty good idea! I've been looking into dropshipping too. There are some GREAT Shopify dropshipping tutorials on YT, maybe there's a way to leverage those strategies with your eBay account?
