What to sell on ebay
Hey everyone. I need some advice from some experienced members. For the past couple of months, I've come to realize that I only have roughly $200 spare cash after all my bills, rent, food, and gas. I want to start selling stuff on ebay but I'm not sure how or where to start. I want to earn anywhere from an extra 500-1000 a month.
Just some info about me:
-My s2000 is paid for so I dont have any car payments
-I live on my own
-I have credit card bills that were racked up back when I first moved out of my parents house. I'm paying a little over minimum every month.
-I rarely get anything for myself anymore. No clothes, no toys for the cars, no games.
-I want to be able to have a little more cash to spend, invest, go out, etc.
I'm on the computer all the time so I thought that ebay can probably help me with my requirement. I've been selling these cheap little ipod skins, which helped me build my feedback on ebay but it's not bringing in any significant income. Any ideas as to what else I can do part time from home along with my regular job? BTW, I'm still attending law school.
What can I sell on ebay? Am I in the wrong market? Help please! I'm willing to answer any questions if any of you have any.

wrong market.
ebay sucks now with the fees
ebay takes roughly 10% of your revenue, regardless of profit or loss.

Ebay is way played out... look at all of the auctions that end in no bids..... i would guess more than 30%....
unless you just happened to stumble across some wonderful, new or super rare item(s) then you will just be 1 of 10,000,000,000 others trying to make a $ on ebay.

I used to sell on ebay, but the effort became too much for the margin of profit. Can't you do some law school related work like clerking or something? It sucks living so tight, but once you are done the sky's the limit.
