Hi @Arctico 

The main purpose of the APP is to resale products.

@Arctico 

Any dropshipping app should allow you to resale their products, just make sure that you have a trusted supplier. Also, make sure that the platform that you are selling it on allows dropshipping. 

I hope this helps.

Hi @Arctico 

It is possible that you will be liable. Yet you have a legal defense. But, you there are lots of option where you can resell products without worries. You can try our company, Fulfillman Dropshipping Services. We have a catalog of products where you can easily select and sell it in your store. Products are of good quality and fast delivery using our very own Private Line. 

In the U.S. I think they have a legislation called the Doctrine of First Sale. If you buy something-- also if it is protected by copyright, patent or hallmark-- you market that item. You can not make duplicates of a DVD or whatever, but you can offer the original DVD you purchased, still utilizing the trademarked name to define the product.

Serious, this is essentially what Craigslist exists for.

And yes, you can customize the product, applying stamps to something that you after that take place to sell.

The need is that you acquired the item in a legitimate method the top place. This is the "First Sale" in the name of this regulation. Afterwards initial sale, Disney has no say in how you make use of, market, or customize their item.
