Answer
eBay would be a great way for you to sell your personalized gifts.  I would suggest you sell your items at auction at first.  If after 3 or 4 months you have successfully met your selling goals then I would open an eBay store.

eBay listings fees are anywhere from .20 cents up to 3.00.  It all depends on your starting fee. http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html

If your item sells eBay will charge you a FVF or Final Value Fee.  For more information on FVF fees go here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html

I hope this will help you figure your eBay fees.  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
