It's my opinion that anything and everything sells on ebay but there are a lot of factors to consider.
I quickly learned what I liked selling and what I didn't. I figured out that the things I enjoyed buying, cleaning, researching, listing, storing, answering questions, packing, and shipping, for me, it was home decor and lighting. This is one of the most important pieces of advise I can give you. YOU MUST LOVE WHAT YOU ARE SELLING. If you don't love what you are doing, you won't stick with it. Believe me, I sell what I love and at times I still have to find ways to motivate myself to push on. There is a lot more to selling on Ebay or online, than just buying your item and listing it for sell. You have to clean it up, research it, take pictures, write a good description, find a place to store it, answer questions about the item, keep records, pack and ship. I will get into more details later about each of these.

- Price (if you price it too high, it won't sell)
- Patience (if your item is not a highly sought after item, it may take repeated relisting, sometimes a year before it sells)
- Profit (is it worth relisting?, when you relist an item several times, you are decreasing your profits)
