online arbitrage entails purchasing products at lower prices from retail websites and reselling them at a profit, often requiring you to manage inventory

in online arbitrage you usually buy the product first then you find the buyer. Dropshiping on another hand is the buyer place an order and you place order to manufacturer. Dropshiping is better because of the lower risk to remain with stock but the online arbitrage can be more profitable as you can buy in bulk

arbitrage includes physical work, dropshipping doesn't

Dropshipping is when you sell a product and your supplier ships it directly to the customer.
Arbitrage is when you buy a product at a lower price and resell it at a higher price for profit.
