Money is getting harder and harder to make on eBay. I remember the good ol days when there was a lot of money to be made! Listings were only 10 cents, and 80% of my items sold! Those days are long gone.. most buyers are reporting of a 40% or less sell through rate, and listing is now at least 25 cents. Before I closed my storefront, I was paying eBay on average 40% of my total sales $$ to them in fees!
If you think you may have a niche item, try one of the up and coming auctions sites. NOW is the time to join them and help them overthrow the evil giant empire of FeeBay! I personally have joined Wagglepop.com. It will take a while for sales to pick up there, but it won't happen if people decide to keep taking the abuse from eBay..

Yes, you need to create a Seller account. However, you don't need a new details to have a new Seller account, eBay will automatically grab your existing details as a buyer. You only need to add some more details regarding to your credit card or bank details to allow buyers know how to pay you and where they can send the money to.. Hope this will help you.

You can use the same, and also Ebay gives you the oppurtunity to start a "Store" where you can list multiple Items, also be prepared to handle the shipping and handling of your products, you can go to the post office's website, and order shipping materials for free, delivered to your door.

Your first stop should be eBay's Guide to Seller Services http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/services.html
eBay's Seller Central has all the resources you need to learn about the basics of selling on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/index.html
To learn about ebay stores, go to http://pages.ebay.com/storefronts/start.html
The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- Sell products that people actually want.
Buying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not sustainable.
If you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. 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.
