And because you have no money to start with, you could sell some old stuff and might find a collector. Actually that is how it all started. Have a look at wikipedia and learn about the history of one of the biggest success stories in the internet.
If you have no old stuff to sell, because all things were taken by typhoon ondoy, you could go to the next store, look for ONE item you think would sell well, calculate your prise and try to sell it.
If you could not sell it, you got some experience! and might be more successful the next time. What I meant was, you do not need to sell your own stuff, you also can sell for a commission. Actually in Ebay you bid and you win then you pay and after that you get the stuff.
Meaning you could get the money of the customer, run and buy the item and send it to him.
In Ebay you can buy and sell a huge range of items. Have a look!
This means you can sell collectibles, antiques, your old computer or cell or brand new stuff.
And what do you need? you need an account by ebay - you need to register, and you need a means to pay and get payment. I suggest Paypal but for local deals smarmoney or Gcash are a better means. You also need to deliver your goods which means you need to pack and post it.

So go and open an ebay account an Paypal account and I suggest you open an email account just for this business purpose. And I suggest you get a Gcash and a SmartMoney card.
Now let us suppose you want to sell the old cell of your friend. He wants 2000 Php.
You get all the stuff together, clean it and make it look as good as possible.
Then you take a few pictures
Start to describe it. Be honest!
Ebay has a rating system and if you trick a buyer he can give you a bad rating and it might become difficult to sell a second or further items.
Ok, the next important question is where do you start your
List your expenses:
Cell 2000
packing handling 100 (you need a box and type and need a ride to go to the post office)
So, you should offer a starting price of 2100 Php.
If people bid and you get 2500 your profit is 400 peso!
If you sell one piece each day it is a nice income for a start. But if you need to go to a cafe you have to deduct this from your income.
What I wanted to demonstrate is that you can make money within a very short time.
Of course there is more to learn than what I just wrote. We will see to it later
