I once heard of someone selling a crumpled piece of paper and calling it an "Origami Boulder".
Fools will buy anything there.

I sell stuff on Ebay. There really isn't much of anything you can make to sell on Ebay any more than you can make things and sell them at your yard sale. There are literally thousands of people selling stuff on Ebay. If there was something they could make and sell don't you think they already would be?
A bit more info for you. It takes a fair bit of time to set up the sales, and ti si not a one time thing you ahve to do it over, and voer, over. About 20 minutes pre auctoin I would average.
Ebay charges you to sell stuff. Yuo pay a fee up front and if th eitme does not sell you still have to pay the fee. If th eimte does sell you pay a second fee. first fee is a lisitng fee second is the final value fee. And if you take money thorugh Paypal you pay a fee to Paypal for any money they take in for you. You want to use Paypal because with Paypal people pay for the good right away. If you allow people to send youy a money order you may or may not get it and it takes weeks to complete a transactoin. By the time you pay all your fees you loose about 30% of what you make on something. Oh yes I forgot, if you want pictures of your item, and who in their right mind would buy something sight unseen, you pay a fee for that also. Ebay has a fee for everything. If you want you radd to ahve bold print you pay, if you want a sub title , you pay, if you the auctoin to run extra days, you pay.
Then once you sell something you have to pack is so it can safely be shipped to the buyer and it has to be taken someplace to ship.
One last thing you have to have a credit card and a bank account to do business on Ebay and with Paypal.
Seling stuff on Ebay is costly and time consuming and poeple buying on Ebay want the Hope Diamond for $.99
I wish you luck an dif you find something you can make that you can make $5 profit on each, let me know. Oh, you won't really have to you I will see you selling it and I will copy your design and sell it myself.
Nuff said?

If you know how to do needle point or to knit you could make something like wall hangings or knited dog sweaters or something like that.
