1. You definitely will want to create a paypal account. However that paypal account will need to be hooked up with a checking account. If you where looking for a offline job you would have had to setup a checking account anyways.
2. Some ideas to consider:
Design and Art: If you can create artwork, etc. you can sell that work on zazzle.com or cafepress.com. Tshirts, and other products are easy. Very easy.
Blogging: Is there something you are passionate about, you might want to start blogging about it, review video games, toys, etc. If you make it a job and look up websites on how to make money blogging you will be able to sell advertising on your site, products, or affiliate products, etc. (much to learn with this one)
It would be interesting to see the replica video game armor. You could post pics of your armor for sale on different video game sites. There might be an interesting niche market for that.
Where are you going to get the money to purchase your initial stock? What makes you think that people will buy YOUR goods, as opposed to buying similar goods elsewhere?
So far, you don’t have any unique concepts. I can do a search for the kinds of things you think you might offer and find thousands of merchants already offering that sort of thing. You have to compete on price, quality, selection, or service, no matter what business you go into. For instance, WalMart competes on price. They advertise their low prices, but don’t say anything about quality or service. This is because they have, for the most part, lowquality goods and almost no service. Nordstrom’s, on the other hand, advertises on quality and service. This chain is widely known to have some of the best merchandise available, an impressive selection of that merchandise, and great customer service…but they’re expensive.
Customers won’t buy from you just because you want them to. You have to offer them something that they want, at a price they’re willing to pay.
