Not recommended

I know that in the book we were told not to use ebay reselling as our business due to the time consumption. I want to use it to raise capital and have extra money because i'm struggling as a full time college student working part time to pay my bills. Any suggestions of resellers or any advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've only had one real experience with ebay, I spent about a week selling some stuff during my move.
I made a little bit of money, but not nearly enough considering the time I spent on it. If I were going to approach ebay again, I would focus on either information products (just email the info or print out and mail the book/flier for each order) or find some small item that is fairly uniform in size/weight (maybe cufflinks or decks of cards, for example) that I could a) store easily b) ship quickly c)stock up on shipping supplies.
