Laws are different everywhere but where i live if you sell even 1 card you have to declare it as income even if you are not doing it as a business. I would guess at least 99% of people selling cards are doing it illegally.
One of the biggest tips I can give is use eBay to advertise, it is not for selling the majority of your stuff on the site.

I definitely have it as a business. I live in Massachusetts so I have been trying to keep up on everything.
You mean to list my cards on Ebay & use the links to send to everyone? Just making sure I understand what you mean by using Ebay to advertise.
I eventually want to buy a card shop. I am actually in the process of getting my state bar license to be a lawyer but I wanted to use this business dynamic to get kids involved in sports and the importance of taking care of rare items. A strange angle, I know.
