He there,
I have noticed some sellers on eBay with millions of items for sale and I suspect the only way to sell these products is through drop shipping or retail arbitrage.
Does E-bay enforce its own rules?

Drop shipping is allowed.
Third party fulfilment is allowed in certain situations.

Drop shipping is not retail arbitrage.

I believe you have a mistaken impression.
Both reselling and drop shipping are permitted on eBay.
https://www.ebay.com.au/help/shipping-items/selling/setting-shipping-options/drop-shipping?id=4176
I quote:
❝Drop shipping, also known as product sourcing, is when you buy stock from a supplier and work with them to send items directly to your buyers without ever handling the items yourself.
Drop shipping, where you fulfil orders directly from a wholesale supplier, is generally allowed on eBay. If you use drop shipping, you're still responsible for the safe delivery of the item within the time frame you stated in your listing, and the buyer's overall satisfaction with their purchase.❞
There are some caveats; see here — https://www.ebay.com.au/help/selling-practices-policy/policies/selling-policies/thirdparty-fulfilmen...
