Leave the EBay thing out of your resume. You are still in high school so it is really OK to leave it out!
Employers are not bothered by the EBay thing but might think of it the opposite way than you anticipated.
Your goal is to get references on the resume that future employers can contact. Trust me - EBay is unreachable!!!
Best of luck there!

The volunteer work will be very useful to you on your resume. Volunteer work is just as beneficial on your resume as paid jobs, plus it provides verifiable reference sources.
But unless you are applying for a job as an eBay seller, the ebay information would not, and might lead future employers to suspect you might abuse their network services for your priviate selling.

I would include it because you are still in high school and this shows that you are motivated. Also include the volunteer work. If you older, like 30 or 40, I would recommend against it. Good luck.
