Best ebay book yet
I bought Dan Wilson's book before I even set up as seller on eBay and have not put it down since. I am now a successful gold level powerseller, selling over 300 items a month and I never bore of the book, I learn something new every time I pick it up. I don't think my shop would have ever got of the ground had I not had the book to refer to - definitely the best and most useful eBay book I read yet (trust me I have a few on the shelf).
From a beginner to established ebayer this book has something for everyone.

So much more to ebay than I realised
I have been selling on ebay for a few years, only in small quantities and as a hobby, but I thought I knew quite a lot. Having read this book I realised I knew nothing. For example simple things such as whether your item title will show up in a buyers search, is it misspelt, have you left out vital information. Stuff that's really obvious when you think about it, but I hadn't been. It's also meant that I have profited from other's mistakes, buying items that have been badly marketed for a much cheaper price! My sales have definitely improved and I've streamlined how I work. The one thing he doesn't tell me, is where I can find cheap stock!
Since reading Dan's book I've spent a lot more time looking around ebay, getting ideas on what works, checking out what's selling well and considering how I might open a shop when I have more time.

It really is the bestselling guide to buying and selling on eBay
If there is something you need to know about growing your eBay business then who better to turn to than Dan Wilson! Dan's experience at working at eBay UK for many years' shows, there is nothing this guy doesn't know about eBay!

He guides you gently from the selling basics to ramping up your business to the next level with in depth information on eBay's advanced features (Turbo lister, Seller Manager Pro, Marketplace Research, Pulse, Shops to name but a few!) he gives you practical advice on making your business more efficient and profitable. There is also clear advice on selling beyond eBay (Amazon, Websites, and Google etc)

I have on many occassions picked this book up and browsed through chapters again and again and have been inspired each and every time. I can honestly say this book has made a huge difference in how our ebay business is run and it is certainly the better for it! The savings we have made by following Dan's advice has paid for this book many times over.

An excellent easy to read no-nonsense guide, a must for any ebay entrepeneur!
