Fullfillment by Amazon is not drop shipping. Drop shipping is when you have an agreement with a SUPPLIER to act as a middle man to fulfill orders for buyers.
With drop-shipping the supplier makes product available to the seller at a certain price, seller makes a sale at more than that price, buyer then pays supplier the agreed amount and the supplier ships the buyer their goods. With drop shipping the seller never handles or owns or previously purchased the product being sold.
Fulfillment by Amazon is the same thing as having your own warehouse, to store your own product, and having employees use your sales information to get your product to the buyer. It is merely a convenience to ship YOUR OWN GOODS using THEIR shipping services, it is not "drop shipping".
For example, if you bought 1,000 surplus DVDs from a wholesaler for resale, you could send all 1,000 of those DVDs to Amazon to be placed in your "stock", which you can have shipped whenever you make a sale on an item.
