Customer Reviews

Fine if you sell in a specific way
Nowt wrong with this book if you sell laptops, cameras or indeed lots of a specific type of product on Ebay and you want to become a retailer. If you sell an eclectic mix of stuff then this aint for you. This book is aimed at Powersellers of products that one can buy in shops and shows them how to compete on ebay, how to work out vital business metrics and how to ensure that you are heading in the right direction, its all about becoming like an online retailer. For me that is the last thing Ebay needs is for it to just merge into a virtual high street. It sneers at the laptop advert that shows a laptop on a carpet for sale and celebrates the swanky advert with all bells and whistles - some folks want to buy the carpet laptop as it will be a damn site cheaper and ebay is about bargains not big business (yawn) "professionalism". A half decent book for a speific audience but not for all ebayers.

Invaluable advice for Gold, Platinum & Titanium Powersellers
If you're a serious eBay business seller and you care about ROI, spend £10 on this book and work out the ROI from that investment. I guarantee it will be in triple if not quadruple figures!!

Easy to read, great practical tips, clear summaries. Buy it today.
