Well, it's not easy money.
Have you done any buying on eBay? If you had, you would have some feedback, which is one way customers decide whether to trust a perfect stranger with their money.
It's the gift giving season (and Happy Hannukah everyone!) so why not build your feedback by shopping here and building feedback at the same time.
This will also give you some insight into how the customer experience goes.
The more items you have listed, the more confident buyers feel. You have 50 free listings every month (ask when you have more experience about the "other " 50 free listings that most eBayers don't know about) use them all.
Watch those pictures. The photos of that coat make it look dirty and stained, although I think it is something on your camera lens. Don't photograph clothing on the floor. And crop out random stuff like your foot. Ain't nobody wanna see that.
Don't list high priced products this early in your selling career. Newbies are red meat for scammers.
You have automatic restrictions on the number and value of items you can list. This is protection for buyers and for new sellers, but it is annoying.
And you do know that when you do make a sale, Paypal will hold the payment against your good performance for 21days. You will be able to buy Paypal shipping labels from the balance, however, so ship as quickly as possible.
There's more, but it's getting late.
