Great source of informationFeb 22, 2010
This book is well thought out, and written by an expert in the business of Ebay. It's an easy read because the text is not too small, and the information provided is so helpful. I almost finished it the very same day I received it.

disappointedDec 21, 2009
I bought this book with the intention of doing business on eBay. I have finished reading the book and I am where I started. This book does not tell you any details that you did not know by reading eBay own help documents online.

This book attempts to tell you how to do marketing and business on eBay, but is very very general. For that matter, I could have bought a general business and marketing book from any other source.

For example, I was hoping that I can find examples of how much eBay would charge you for the different type of doing business on its website. Instead, the author says that he cannot try to describe that, because it changes all the time. This is a very lame excuse in my opinion. I wish the author gave an example with numbers. For example, if you pick up "auction" style selling, here is estimation of the charges. Just that one like me, who is just starting, gets a feeling for if doing business on eBay is worth it or not.

Sorry, but the book was just a big disappointment for me.

book reviewSep 21, 2009
A good starter book for someone wanting to learn eBay. Hits most of the basics. Some chapters were a little more involved than they may need to be for a beginner like myself, but it does prepare you if you want to do more than just simple eBay selling.
Overall it was a good help for me.

good information on EbayJul 13, 2009
I have been buying and selling on Ebay since 1998. Even with hundreds of transactions, it can be difficult to keep up with all the chances Ebay is making to its system. I obviously missed quite a few things, because I found this book very helpful in letting me know about some "new" things I wasn't aware of. This has made selling easier and streamlined the process, so I have more time. I am doing the same amount of work, but making more money now, thanks to automation and other tools I learned about in this book.

This book gives a lot of insight to things I had never even given thought to. If you are thinking about selling on ebay, this is the book to start with!
