Is it permissible, from a Sharia perspective, to create an e-commerce website for selling electronics wholesale, knowing that I will be an intermediary between the buyer and Chinese companies, where I display products I do not actually own and order them from Chinese companies as soon as the buyer requests them, and I clarify that I am merely an intermediary for a commission?
Brokerage is permissible. It involves searching for a buyer for a seller's goods, and searching for a seller for a buyer's needs, and mediating between them to facilitate the sale process. What you intend to do by creating a brokerage website is permissible, unless it involves deception or fraud towards the buyer or seller, or if the brokerage is for something unlawful.
