Is it good idea to sell t-shirts online?

Depends on your hook.

If you're just another seller for tshirts that can be found elsewhere. It's not a good idea.

If you have a really catchy design or you make a shirt about a hot trend then yes, you could do well selling shirts online.

Keep in mind that low price items generally need huge volume to be successful. That's a big hurdle for most people new to setting up an online shop to get over.

You will probably need a lot of t-shirt ideas that are very unique or very funny, so that their popularity goes "viral" and people tell each other about them.

Or, maybe you could just make one or two t-shirt ideas that are funny/entertaining and try to get them made by an already-existing t-shirt seller. I think there are websites that do that (not sure).

You can sell everything online, yes absolutely everything,

Think of where you're going to bring the traffic, what they'll see in your website, why you and not someone else, etc,

There are so many factors, but, till you don't start and try you will not know....

Cheers

You won't profit selling T-shirt, stickers, book...or ANYTHING like that until you can clearly state why people pay money for these things.
