Thank you guys very much for all your advice. I need 10 feedback before I can even open a store so I plan to buy and sell alot of smaller items as monkey suggested. That will also give me some good experience navigating the workings of ebay.
Do you think i'm better off buying and selling random trinkets to get to 100 asap OR after 10 feedback and the capability to launch a store aggressively, take that route right away?
