BEST EBAY BOOK EVER!

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON EBAY EVER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE. WORTH A LOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR IT. I EVEN EMAILED THE AUTHOR AND HE RESPONDED PROMPTLY. HE ALSO LISTS HIS EBAY ID IN THE BOOK. I GIVE THIS BOOK 5 STARS + 5 MORE.

A must-read for any Ebay-sian wanna-be!

I had been on Ebay for a few months when I read this book, and I have a feedback rating of 36. Some people said that this book is only for the people who are very new at Ebay. I disagree!Dennis Prince does an OUTSTANDING job of explaining Ebay to people at all different places on the learning curve. The book is entertaining, captivating, and so very informative! His humorous style makes it a real pleasure to read.I knew a fair amount of what Dennis has to say in the book, but I learned quite a bit too. He covers MANY different situations and tells them how to handle them. He deals with etiquette the eBay way and you will feel comfortable hopping right into the eBay auction scene after reading this book!He covers bidding, selling (including how to research your item so you know what to charge for it), how to win if it's something you REALLY want to have, and much much more. He also covers in detail how to pack things safely and where to get materials, etc.Dennis also covers how to take pictures of your items and get them on your item listing page.

Gives all the info. for eBay , in clear understandable way

This book is excellent. It has helped me so much. And it is written in a very easy to understand way, even for a beginner like me. It tells you when is the best time to list your item. All about buying and selling. Everything you need to know. I haven't written a review before, but I wanted to recommend this one. Thanks so much, Mr. Prince!

Exceptional Book!

This is a very well-written book, with a wealth of how-to-do it information. I was especially interested in Dennis's sniping techniques. His internet and server access methods are very similar to those used by experienced stock market day traders. I also enjoyed the entire tone of the book...it was fun to read, even if you never work up the courage to bid.

Dennis Price will Make a Winner out of You!

This book is for anyone who wants to be a casual ebay participant, or for hard core buyers and sellers. There is detailed information for both beginners and seasoned users to aid in the online auction experience. Dennis makes this book easy to read, with simplified explanations and a great sense of humor.All of your feelings of fear, ignorance and being overwhelmed with the auction process online will be put to rest after reading this book. No stone goes unturned.The price is a bargain. I have read other online auction books which were a waste of time and money...however, there is not one individual who will not be pleasantly surprised and satisfied by "Online Auctions at eBay".I have just completed my first auction at eBay after reading this book....Results: I was the high bidder out of 170 bids. I WON!!!Need I say more.
