Also sign up to TazBar as a cheaper alternative to eBay (but don't expect huge sales off there), get a Google Checkout account as an alternative to PayPal, and when you buy stuff that currently sells for less do not be afraid to sit on it. We had the same thing once, but leave it a few months and things change.
One other tip: Can you sell items for a different use?
Example: We bought some South Park money boxes. There were a few others selling odd ones, but we listed them at the start of the year as South Park Money Boxes: Stop Smoking!
Why Stop Smoking? In the listing we explained how you could use the money box as a reminder and put 'saved' fag money away. It worked: £30 down and £95 back.
Avoid superfluous words in listings titles: THINK what people search for rather than trying to describe the item in the title - that is what the description is for.
There is a thread lower down on using PhotoBucket to get more pictures in listings. They even do a tutorial:

Good luck and don't be afraid to come back with your own tips. Always welcome!
