I was helping someone setup their site that was sort of like what I am doing but then he refused to pay or give me a cut of anything so I jumped ship right away and figured why not try it out myself. I must admit I do get joy when I here from "john" and he says something like "I crashed the auction site and can't get it to run anymore" but anyways, I am searching these forums and many other places on the internet for information but am hoping some kind people on this site may be able to give me some pointers. I look forward to hearing from you.

Also once someone orders something from me do I then order it from the supplier and then once it gets here I then send it to the buyer?
So you'll pay shipping twice and your customers will have to wait twice as long as normal?
You need to forge a proper business relationship with a supplier - i.e - either they take your orders and blind ship for you (dropship), or you need to invest in inventory upfront.
I recommend the first, until you can prove you have the responsibility and skill to run a store successfully.

Depends how much you order from that supplier each day. If your ordering enough it can be a happy medium between drop-shipping and stocking (from a UK perspective, I guess in some countries distance becomes more of a factor).
