Well, maybe it's a stupid question but I'll ask : I'm reselling (bulk) for 3 different hosting providers. And as I have my 3 domains .com,.net.,org , I used with every account a domain, having this way 3 different pairs of nameservers. Now I need to resell for other 2 companies (5 in total). Do I have to buy other 2 domains for the new accounts or there is something I can do...like using the domains I already own for the new accounts too. (all my accounts are on different hosts). Was really stupid question? Oh my, hope not! Thanks for the help in advance!

Errr... well... if they need a domain to set somethign up for you, then you can just use an existing domain (it would be set up on the server, but if you don't modify your current set up at your registrar, that's about as far as it will go). Email might be problematic (could end up on the new server, however you can log in to the new server via IP address and username/pass to get any mail).
Your nameservers are aliased I presume, and unless you have some sort of DNS admin area where you can set up domain and point them to IPs yourself, then you aren't going to be able to use those nameservers for new accounts (though you could use 3rd part DNS services, etc., or the host's nameservers.)
Some resellers don't require you to have an account in order to resell, some do (but I'd imagine they'd be willing to try to get around that if you explain your situation).
Everything you posted is certainly possible, one way or another (don't see why not).

Why not use a subdomain of your current domain for your new account servers?
domain.tld
1st reseller: server1.domain.tld ns,n1.domain.tld
2nd reseller: server2.domain.tld ns2,ns3.domain.tld
3rd reseller: server3.domain.tld ns4,ns5.domain.tld
4th reseller: server4.domain.tld ns6,ns7.domain.tld
5th reseller: server5.domain.tld ns8,ns9.domain.tld
