I’ve advised my clients to not even mess with eBay. Get a shopping cart that has a data feed that’ll send out to froogle and the like and go from there.
Back in the day, eBay was the thing to go to if you were looking for something. But, it’s been ran over by so many scammers, phishing, etc that it’s not worth it. Plus, with people jacking up the price of shipping to make up for the shortfall they may have in the final sale price, often times their was no real savings.

So, in short, I agree with most of what your saying. Setup a shopping cart site, get a blog to help feed the search engines, post on other peoples blogs to help get the word out, and just generally practice good online marketing.

I would go with adsense. They tend to be less obtrusive and more relevant to content on the page. I would say, after some time has passed and you have your traffic numbers figured out then you could more accurately come up with an amount to charge for banner ads. Otherwise, you don’t really know how much traffic your going to have and your numbers could be way off. Furthermore, potential advertisers may be unwilling to pay for advertising if they don’t know what kind of exposure there ads will get.
