I don't think that it would be too difficult to set up an ebay store to do this. You might be surprised how much you would sell. I am constantly surprised at what I find for sale there. I know I have found lots of art (some excellent, some ..well...) and someone must be buying or there would not be so much there for sale. One of the FAQ's on the ebay site is How do I set up my ebay store? Check it out. There are, of course, other auctions, and other sources of getting your work online. Make sure, that when you do get a store or a website to show your work that you put it on every piece of stationary, business cards, business flyers, etc. Tell everyone you know. Don't be shy! You obviously believe in your work and want to sell it.
You might also try a local gallery and see if they would take your work on consignment until you get some sort of following. There is a local photographer in the city where I live that furnishes some of his more unique portraits to a local buffet restaurant to grace their walls in the area where people stand in line by the hundreds to eat dinner on Sundays - other days busy as well, but Sunday is a mad mob-He gets LOTS of business by people seeing his work and admiring what he does. Any way that your work can be seen by people - arts and crafts exhibits, galleries, office buildings, restaurants. Many artists hang their work in places of business with a card denoting the artist, price and contact numbers. Good luck. You have chosen a rewarding way to make a living. It's out there, just go after it.

Etsy.com has a great interface, it's really easy to use, and you can display pictures and pricing of your work. I'm not sure if they take off a percentage, but it's worth a try, since it's not as trashy looking as eBay and uBid. Good luck!

"Sell", I think you mean, not "sale". "Sale" is a noun.
My advice is get gallery representation. Your gallery should take care of that for you, if necessary.
