Technicallity wise, you have not really started a business, only doing sales via Ebay. Unless you are about to tell me you have registered your business and done the whole 9 yards shebang along with it.

I myself know of someone selling on Ebay quite frequently, but is not a business, only more of a hobby.
As to that "harsh way", I mean that you will only be exhausting the money that you have, and not earning enough back to profit from your expenditure.
