When we first started we used the one time use cameras and got our pictures back on cd and put them on the computer. Still do this for when we travel. Then we would post things spread out like. Then I got the store and had my own computer and the printer acts as a scanner too. So having also a digital camera now it is easier. It came in degrees and it is still doable depending on what you wish to do. There is always the trading assistants if you wish.

I think there were a lot of great suggestions here. I hadn't even thought about using internet images for popular things I have. That'd make it easier on me to list things. Our camera upload doesn't always work and is more of a pain than anything sometimes.
My suggestion would be to start off with some things that you'll be ok not making much money on, and see how it goes. Then you can move up into more valuable / expensive things as you gain experience.

If you do not have a camera, do you have a scanner? That's what I use. You can get a cheap one. But the objects cannot be big or thick. Otherwise, go to the camera store and ask them how to use the digital.
As far as Ebay, sign up to be a seller. You will need to have a bank account. They charge fees for listing and the pictures. They charge fees if it sells only. And, you pay a fee to Pay Pal if they pay though them.

The way my husband does it is he would take 3 pictures of the item and then put it up on ebay. He usually likes to describe the item as well. He starts out with low bitting and that usually works. Hope this helps.

I sell mainly scrapbooking supplies on Ebay Australia but sometimes I list my husbands old transformers or playstation games.
When my husband wanted to trade his PS1 and PS2 for the Playstation Portable, we traded all bar $30 dollars worth of consoles and games so with the remailing games that they wouldn't trade, we listed them on Ebay and made $170 on the games.
I agree with what has been said, try finding the image on the internet and as long as it isn't copyrighted in a big way, you will be able to use it.

Please look under my discussions for one entitled "Do you want to make money." I talk about online auction sales there. Albert
