Not Easy To Make Money
It is extremely difficult to make money on Ebay. Because there are so many companies competing on Ebay, the price of the items drop to right above wholesale. You could sell a $200 item for $5 profit, which doesn't cover the cost of a return in case the customer has an issue with it. On top of that, you still have greedy buyers asking for a discount.

The only people making money on Ebay is Ebay.
