I'm a bit horrified at the naivety of this post. I think the best thing you can do is just try it, with the presumption it will fail. Then learn the lessons why it didn't work and try and try again.

At some point you will realise that the notion there's a "sure-fire way to $5K" is completely absurd.

Some random notes on your idea anyway:

- No-one buys from independent websites, only Amazon, eBay, etsy etc

- You will get no traffic to your website

- Phone cases are a commodity, there is no chance you can charge higher than Amazon

- Buying Facebook traffic to sell $10 items doesn't work economically

- Justin Beiber will close down your website with cease and desist

- You will end up with a 1000 cases that you can't even sell for 99c

- The real money is in value-added high-price items, or in selling services

been there done that. Tried Facebook advertising with a service gave up after zero leads where google was 10x cheaper. Ebay good luck they blocked me for saying my cases worked with ipads. even though I tried to explain that's not trademark violation. bought sites on flippa traffic slowly degrades(and adsense revenue) unless you pump money into it. tried building an affiliate site that aggregates Chinese wholesale sites(aliexpress,dx.com etc) and ebay so I could find the cheapast price. Tried monetizing with viglink.com made no money from them and a little from ebay affiliate program. spent couple dollars a day at 10 cent clicks wasted $300. my next idea will work for sure though...lol...

OP: Keep all this in mind and change your idea a bit, you have the will the do it, and that's already putting you above 99% of all people.

Good luck!
