For very low starting characters: You can collect pelts and bone chips in EC, right where you can also auction them. It can take a bit to find a buyer but when they come they buy everything.
I did this over the weekend and got several hundred plat, which I used to buy a decent lowbie weapon, a shield and some other key items, and still had a few hundred plat left over. I recommend this for a new character. Yes, it is slower leveling than a few other areas, but getting a little money going is worth it.
