hi friend
you are not asking a silly question
dropshiping is in laymens terms stockless retailing
if you can find a genuine dropshipper they will supply you with specifacations and pictures of products they distribute plus the cost of the item for your purchase as a reseller
you either list these items on your own web site or an auction site , when your customer purchases the item from you , you then order the item from your dropshipper pay for it , then your dropshipper sends the item to your customer , you dont even see it but collect the profit from your own mark up on the original price
