Is this ebay job offer a scam?
Recieved the following email 'job proposal' and was wondering if it is a scam? I figure it is but would like other's opinions about it. Thanks!!

I'm pleased to offer you a position as a seller assistant to
help me run our sales on eBay . The part time job will take up
1-2 hours a day and you may receive up to $400 per week after a short trial
period.

Our requirements: Strong organizational, communication skills, entry level of Excel.

Please contact me if you have some experience in handling customer support .

Cordially Yours,
Ali-express team
Here are the short steps of our work:
1) I send you the list of items and terms.
2) You log into YOUR eBay account and list those items.
3) As soon as item is sold, buyer send payment to YOUR PayPal account.
4) You email me his shipping address.
5) I ship product to buyer directly from the U.S. warehouse.
6) As soon as item is shipped, I email you tracking number.
7) Buyer receive his product.
8) You pay eBay/PP fees from buyer's money.
9) You send 70 percent of net amount to our supplier and take 30 percent. We cover transfer fee.

For example you've sold 5 items for a $500 total.
Then you pay eBay/PP fees (approximately 15 percent = $75). Net amount is $425. $127.50 are yours. $297.50 will be transferred to us.
As you can see, you pay all fees from buyer's money.

This online job will take about 1-2 hours per day any time.

Your part of job:
- Create eBay listings according to my instructions.
- Email shipping addresses to me.
- Enter tracking numbers for each transaction
- Send money to supplier.
- Answer simple questions from buyers and forward hard questions to me.

My part of job:
- Ship orders to buyers. It takes 2-5 business days usually.
- Send tracking info to you.
- Answer important questions from buyers.
- Answer your e-mails each day except Sunday.

We have about 5000 products available for sale from different categories (toys, electronics, houseware, cookware, etc.). I can't manage all sales myself. That's why I'm looking for assistants, at this moment I supervise about 50 remote sellers.

We may sell 30-40 items per week and make good profit for both of us! Price range for our items is between $25-$350.

It is legal.
Here is the information from eBay regarding dropshipping:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/product_sourcing.html

You will transfer money for shipped items only!
We have to send all products to receive money from you. Your perfect reputation is our primary goal.

SHORT TRIAL: I will send you 7 test items to list..
Please let me know if you are ready to start, so I will send you all technical details (prices, terms, requirements etc.)

Investments are NOT needed to sell with us.
