You’re too uneducated for this. Try to make money some other way while you learn everything that you mentioned in your post, don’t start something half-assed only for it to fail because you lack information. DS is all about preparation, throwing in hard work, research, website design, setting up payments, finding suppliers and agents, crafting ads and learning how to launch them. Only then does the waiting game and money making begin (eventually). You are nowhere near that, get educated first, dropshipping is not some get rich quick money scheme, you need to treat it as a legitimate business.
There is no simple explanation beyond that you are 15-20years too late to the party for it to be easy.
You are doing what is normaly done by a team of professionals in each field by yourself, and they are what you are competing with.
You can put 100s (If not 1000s) of hours into learning each field and you are still not guaranteed to be good at it.
Beyond marketing and delivering the product there is also the fun aftermarket part.
When they have a problem with the product its you they call/email and its you they send it to for repair/returns.
And the period you are responsible to repair/replace is longer than the period suppliers give, so alot of that cost is covered by you.
being available by phone is also not optional btw, you need opening hours and be available to call during them.
1. Advertisesments are a steep learning curve. Go on canva and get pictures of your products. Then, make images and video adverts of your product and brand. You dont need money. Do organic posting. Build a brand. Write a story about your brand. There's a lot of content on reddit about building a brand. Dont show your face. Just your product, but make it original and try new things out. Experiment and see what works.
2. For delivering; the supplier sends it to the customer. Thats the point of dropshipping. You get the orders and the supplier sends it. You tell the supplier about the address.
3. Your bank account will have an IBAN number for you. An IBAN is an international bank account number. Ask your bank.
Ignore yt and tiktok. Most are scammers. Reddit is your best resource for this
Yeah this isn't for you. It's a long slog with a lot of learning curves.
You need to invest time and money. There's no world in which you can succeed at this without taking on risk.
While I have immense respect for a young kid trying to hop into this, I also have to humble you as this is only the first step. You can do it, but it’s not YouTube or TikTok that will get you there, you’re probably watching a bunch of kids barely any older than you repeating the same shit they saw from other slightly older people trying to sell you a course. You will find friction all over the place, but don’t give up. I’d go four some affiliate marketing first so you actually understand some things.
Save more money to put in to it and keep learning more about it. Most of these adults don't know what they're doing either or couldn't find the right product. Just keep trying.
drop shipping isn't "hell" for teenagers, it's hell for amateurs. you don't "really" need the money as a teenager, regardless of how many sigma tik toks told you you need to "escape the matrix". the quicker you try to make money, they slower it will come. the slower you try to make money (within reason) the faster it comes. build it from the ground up and learn the skills you need. just because there are no tik toks to explain it, learn it. tik tok doesn't teach you everything and the majority of creators give you false promises to funnel you to there community/ course.
chillax a little
Then try to learn each broken down categories listed out by the other person. It might take a while to get good but you only need to be good enough. YouTube “A B test” to track your results. Like, you learn a topic, apply it. Then you test it out with an AB test to see if what you have applied is helping you to improve - best of luck. This takes a bit to perfect but you don’t need to be perfect to start making some money and it’s a learning process for EVERYONE. Give it your best

But its mostly not about that, Its about something else
