You should answer your own question. Spend a few hours a day over a couple weeks watching items on E-bay. Look at what actually sells, not what is for sale. See what it sells for. Then ask yourself if you have a local source that is significantly cheaper. Is the profit large enough to pay your wage for the time to post the shit and pack it up for shipping?
You would want to make more than you would at your waitressing job, right? Do the math. Unless you are selling high priced items, you are going to need to move a lot of merchandise each day. It will start to feel like a job. You will need space to store all the boxes and merchandise. Have a spare room?
The nice thing is that you can start small for basically zero cost and see how it goes. Be honest with yourself about what you are making and how much time you are putting into it. You may find that McDonald's pays better. You may find that you have a knack for finding things people want and getting them for a good price. Who knows? If you live in a wealthy area, you may be able to find good stuff for cheap at thrift stores or church sales etc.
