Payments are on hold for up to 30 days on the new system. However, they can be released quicker as long as you send with tracking. You can see the estimated payout date for each item in your Seller Hub - Payments.
You have 1 of 2 options.
1) Continue to sell items from your home until the restrictions are lifted
2) It is always sensible to have some funds on hand if you're starting a business. No idea what products you plan on drop shipping, but maybe just advertise a few inexpensive things that you can cover the costs until you get the hang of it.
Once you have passed the restrictions time frame, your payouts can be daily, weekly etc, but there could be delays even once the payout is sent, as the bank might take 3-5 days to further process them, depending on the bank. Other banks are quicker - I'm with Westapac and my payouts are every week. I get a message early in the morning on a Tuesday and the funds are delivered by lunch time.
Also, the minute you start drop shipping - you are in business, not a hobby.
Ensure you keep records and funds aside to pay tax. The ATO has far reaching data gathering tools.
Drop shipping is a whole different beast. I suggest that before you put anything up for sale, that you order a couple of the products yourself to check for A) how long it takes to get to you and B) quality.
You should note that sellers on Aliexpress have something like 7-10 days to send the item, so it is never guaranteed that they will ship the item quickly at all.
