Robbin Sinclair used to sell collectibles at flea markets to help pay her college tuition. But she no longer wastes weekends sitting at a booth while she waits for browsers to plunk down their money. Sinclair, a 43-year-old student from Casper, Wyo., has set up shop on eBay, the largest online auction site.

"People were fighting for them," she says.
