You have to select items that work best for you. Some people work with back-catalog titles whilst others with latest releases, and some just with consoles.
It's all about knowing and how to sell your products. There is a reason for us having our own website and not using an eBay shop.

fair enough but you have to appreciate the fact that if a buyer is looking online more often than not they will compare prices through a number of sites and they will more than likely be game hmv and ebay.
for example your'e looking for gta 4 and you want it new and sealed and you find it on ebay at £12 then find it on someones elses site for £28 you are definetly going to buy it from ebay! ebay not be the most profitable selling platform but it is certainly the most popular shopping place on the internet!
on a second look i would agree that there are the odd one or two items that could prove profitable for example the xbox elite with halo 3. i seen asda selling an xbox elite at £180 on it's own.
how long until the service is up and running?? i will have a better look into this at the time you get it running.
