15 years ago it was easy. Now... it's tough. Plus with the ebay/paypal merger, they'll mess with the money transfer. I used to sell items on ebay and one time I sold a $400 thing and the guy said he never recieved it even though I shipped it... paypal immediately sided with the buyer and I wasn't even allowed to explain myself or try to fix anything. They just shut down my paypal account, locked it, and in turn locked my ebay account that I had spent 2 years developing good seller ratings for. For someone stealing $400 from me.

That was the last time I used ebay or paypal. Fuck them to hell. Even if you can make money, they can (and will) pull the rug out from under you for literally nothing, with no recourse on your part.
