More details to this question:
Here is the process. I find popular amazon items. Post the same photos and descriptions of that item on Facebook Marketplace. Someone buys that item from me on facebook marketplace. I take the customers information from Facebook, enter the name and shipping address on my amazon account and ship the item directly to them. I have only done this a few times but want to know if I should set up an LLC or if this is even legal to do before I scale. Thanks

A lawyer would need to review the Amazon TOS to find if this is permited.
There will be other questions you find as you seek to open an e-commerce web site or App. In my experience, working with a lawyer as you begin will save you a lot of money in the future.
