Tell me if I'm incorrect, but you're 14, right? Few people make their livings selling baseball cards. However, there are people who make supplimental cash or otherwise have collections that sell for more than when they bought them. At the least, buying and selling on eBay is real world practice that can be applied in ways to other businesses (time magagment, costs, shipping costs, authenticity, losing money on bad purchases, etc).

I'm not a business recruiter, but I'm confident that a young person who showed he had a profitable small eBay business with high feedback and a solid reputation within the hobby would be attractive to many employers, including auction houses. If it turns out you make enough money you don't need no stinking employer, even better.
