Can you sell another companies merchandise online through them on your own site? That would be the costumer buys the product from your site but its payed for and shipped from another company. The only thing you do is raise the price a little bit so you can make a profit per sell from your site. You just advertise and sell the product and the company you get it from ships it to the buyer. Can this be done? I don't know anything about making sales.

Some sellers provide affiliate deals, they give you a certain percentage of any sale you bring them. You could also theoretically buy the product with the money they send you and then ship it over. It does not make much sense to do that though...

You might run into problems with copyright infringement if you use pictures, for example, to which the other company owns the rights.
