Is selling household tools by displaying pictures of other merchants' goods and adding a profit margin to them, then having the original merchant deliver directly to the customer without prior possession of the item, considered a sale by agency or selling what one does not own, and what is the ruling on money earned from it if it is forbidden?
As long as you are an agent for the merchants and sell goods for them in exchange for a known fee, this is permissible and there is no objection to it. This is because agency can be for a fee, and it is not a condition to inform the buyer that you are an agent. Therefore, your transaction is permissible, and your profit from it is lawful.
