Dropshipping on Amazon and Walmart is not prohibited, but there are certain rules and regulations that sellers must adhere to. In the past, both Amazon and Walmart had policies in place that prohibited dropshipping. However, in recent years, they have relaxed these policies and now allow dropshipping under certain conditions.

For Amazon, the seller must ensure that they are the seller of record, which means that they are responsible for delivering the product to the customer and handling any customer service inquiries. Additionally, the seller must adhere to Amazon's performance metrics, including timely shipping and low order defect rates.

For Walmart, the seller must adhere to their Marketplace Retailer Agreement and follow their policies regarding shipping, returns, and customer service. Walmart also requires that the seller provide proof of purchase, which means that they must purchase the product from a supplier or manufacturer and have it in stock before listing it on Walmart's marketplace.

It's important to note that dropshipping on Amazon and Walmart can be challenging, as both platforms are highly competitive and require a significant amount of effort to stand out from the competition. Additionally, there are potential challenges with inventory management, shipping, and customer service.
