This has been happening for literally years already. Basically dropshippers would buy products list them and ship direct in the way you're describing. Then, when a manufacturer noticed that a product was popular enough, they would undercut the dropshipper and just list the product directly. Most of the "advanced" dropshippers though have white label products with some branding and design changes and then buy them in blocks of inventory and have them shipped to a 3PL partner anyways.
