Sell products that people actually want.
Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.
eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace:
Items In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html
Hot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left.
eBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action.
Merchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html to view the current Merchandising Calendar.

You need to think of eBay just like any business. You start by researching prices, competitors, and sales tactics. You have to have a product / service, and know how to market it. All eBay does is expose you to potential buyers -- at a price. Your failure or success will depend on both what the market is for what you're selling (there a many, many categories for "toys") and how well you can sell it.
To sell one or two items is simple. To set up a full-time eBay business takes a full-time investment of time (at least in the beginning).

It is usually slow at first. If you work at it over time you can have a great business. Just remember to keep an eye on other seller's prices and keep it compeditive.
