my question is if you are in an order and Delivery business where you advertise series of items and the consumers picks one for you to order for them, is it advisable to use your own personal money to place these orders and then collect the cash upon delivery? or should they send their money and i place the orders for them?

Both can work perfectly but if your business is at the early stage it is advisable to first collect payment from the client

Thanks it's what I do, but then there are some new buyers who are skeptic and thinks i want to defraud them what do I do then
It depends on the agreement you had with your client, if they agree to send the money, them it is good, and then again the level of trust, if you're very trustworthy they can confidently send you the money prior to the delivery day.
Placing orders and delivering goods is becoming the order of the day in online businesses.
Some people may change their mind after ordering products. I would prefer to collect payment in advance first.
Usually the delivery order business in my country pays the buyer when the goods arrive at their home address. So, we automatically procure goods with our personal money first, then send them to the customer. But it could depend on the agreement made together, for example asking for an advance payment and asking for the remaining money when the goods are received.
As far as I'm concerned, it is never a good thing for you to mix up relationship with business because anything can actually go wrong at any time which is why it is better to get your money first before doing anything.
