I started on Ebay with an old sewing machine drawer bought for $1 at a yard sale because it was used to store cabinet knobs and pulls. When I was learning to use, and trying to find a cheap digital camera to use for that, one of the first cams I tried would not get clear closeups, and the only photo I came up with on it was of the face of that dang drawer. The drawer sold for $15 + shipping. I'd found a better cheap camera for $99 and had learned that an optical zoom was the key to closeup clarity. I listed the cabinet knobs in sets(or as close as possible to a set from the assortment) and totaled over $45 profit from that $1 purchase. I was hooked!
I can only suggest listing something simple and get-er-done, go for it, see how it works as you're going. If you have a bit of feedback built up already(buying or selling will work, it's the numbers people see first) that will help people trust you more starting out.
The sad fact on Ebay is there are trolls looking for a victim, and low feedback is one factor they look for. This leaves newer sellers more prone to scam activity(just my experience)
Hek, list a single power strip on 7 day auction, see how much it goes for, that would give you a good idea for a starting buy-it-now price
