So recently I bought a used car from a dealership outright. When I first bought it, there were some problems and they thought it was due to a dead battery which would have made a ton of sense. About a week later, it didn't want to start and I was told it was not getting enough fuel and I needed to have a fuel flush or whatever so I had that done and replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump relay. Recently, my car didn't want to start again. My battery is completely drained and it won't hold a charge and I just bought this battery. If i open the door, a clicking sound comes and it doesn't make the usual beep. I replaced te battery and tried jump starting it and even made sure I had gas in it. The alternator isn't bad since I had that checked at my local autozone and napa. I don't know what to do. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this issue out.

Hello,
To accurately answer your question we would need to know a little bit more about how it behaves when you turn the key...
When you attempt to start the car do you hear the engine turning as it normally would, just not fully starting? Or when you attempt to start it do you hear no sound at all as though you never even turned the key?
Typically, if you were having a fuel system problem you should very noticeably hear the engine turning and possibly sputtering as it tries to run. On the other hand if you have a battery/electrical system problem you would hear no cranking sound, though maybe just some clicking noise as the various electrical items attempt to operate.
If you could reply with a description of what you are hearing and experiencing I will do my best to help you further, ok?
