your teen-ager is going to sell new clothing - they will be
competing against all the big department stores and clothing stores
like Wal-mart et al.

until they sell and see if they will be going for a profitable
amount.

sales and rummage sales and find designer items or name brand infant
and toddler clothing. All of that sells very easily on e-bay - you
just have to watch seasonal items (just like at your own garage
sale - you ice skates won't sell for much in June, however in
December they will go for a decent amount). You have to time your
postings for the seasons.

clothing items that are currently listed on e-bay that they would
like to sell and see if they go for a consistent enough price that
if you were to account for the purchase, shipping & handling, taxes
and other expenses - you would still generate a decent margin of
profit. Watch hundreds of them to get a good idea for the going
prices - use the math - look at the averages also look at how long
the auctions were for or how many were buy-it-now. From all of that
you should have a good idea of the profitability.
