Although the internet is a very useful tool and we could make money online sitting at home with just the internet connection and computer particularly using online auction sites like eBay and Lelong, and in fact, quite a few people became millionaires by just trading on eBay, it could be quite foolish to misuse it.
I just read about the case where a woman stole shoes from the shoe retailer that she worked for and sold them on eBay. Her misdeeds only came to light when her eBay buyers called up the company seeking a refund and the company found that there were no receipt of payment and therefore not able to issue a refund. Her buyers said that they bought the shoes off eBay and the company says that they do not sell through eBay.
Now, who doesn't know how to make money like this, right? But is it something that we should do? Just because we have access to something that people may want, like in this case, brand name shoes, doesn't mean that we could sell them as if they were our own stocks. It would be another matter if she was able to procure those branded shoes at staff price and then resell them on eBay at a closer to market price since they would be "brand new with tag".
