if you want to flip why dont you go hit up sample sales (if you live in NY) or hit up your local outlets for quality merchandise that can be flipped for wayyyy more profit than $15.

seriously by the time you are done with listing fees, auction close fees, paypal fees, time to drive to buy the item, time to drive to take photos, list the item, etc, time to ask people what its worth, time spent checking your auction to see if people have bid on it yet, time to drive to the post office, having to worry about the item getting to the person, dealing with possible bad feedback...

you get the point. you might as well get a job at target and work for 2 hours

well when you put it like that... yeesh

fair comments though. I've sold hundreds of CDs on eBay, many for $100+ and know that can be time consuming if I let it. I hadn't thought about the fact that shipping shoes will probably cost more than the buck and a half it costs to ship a CD.

Ok, first these are fake chinese made sneakers.
Original Dsquared sneakers cost 270 euro thats about 380 dollars. Fake dsquareds are ugly and no1 should buy them. I also have Dsqaured sneakers and i love them. Just take a look at luisaviaroma.com or another site which sells original clothing.
