An entrepreneur can be anything from sending rockets into space to selling things on Ebay. Risk levels are different for all businesses. Selling on Ebay isn't necessarily stressful until you start trying to make a living on it. It's even more stressful when you have decided to live off your business and you start to come short on bills.

My advice. Give it a shot but don't quit your day job until your business is easily paying for itself as well as your personal bills. Entrepreneurship isn't for everyone though.

I like your advice. I actually made a living on eBay/Amazon for a while during college by selling used video games. My current living expenses aren't much higher now than they were then, since I'm not raising a family or paying a mortgage.
