Customer Reviews

great ebay reference
A great book for ebay beginners and existing users alike.
The layout is perfectly divided into 4 parts which help guide you through the basics and subtleties of buying and selling and lead you through to methods for fine tuning a fully fledged ebay auction business.
There is advice on what to sell and where to find your inventory and the key methods involved in maximising your sale price for even the smallest and unllikeliest items within your stock.
If your interested in getting started, refining your ebay technique or attempting to join the auction big league then this book will help.

another ebay book...
There are so many ebay books out there now. So many. How to choose between them? As a complete ebay novice I've read a few of them and they basically say the same thing (as you might expect), with only a few significant variations in style and presentation. It's the information itself that counts.

So if you're thinking of getting this one, then fair enough, there's little I can add to the other reviews here apart from a couple of quibbles which might help you. Here goes: I would say that this book seems to be a bit old now as some of the information is out of date. Also, it's not a UK specific guide, and as there are differences between the US and UK ebay sites you might want to look elsewhere if that's what you need. Otherwise perfectly adequate for the beginner.

GREAT!
As an Ebay novice, for me this book was a real godsend! Although the title sounded rather over-blown,(I didn't want to 'make a fortune' - just sell some stuff without it all going horribly wrong!) it is packed with information and is written in a very user-friendly way. The book is easy to browse through at ones leisure but also makes it easy to find answers to specific questions quickly. Before reading this book, I was seriously doubting my ability to sell items on Ebay. Having bought it a week ago and followed the advice held within, I have now sold my first items (for a very unexpected profit) and feel that the world of Ebay is now my oyster - THANKS DENNIS!
