THE Ebay How-to book

I bought the 2004 edition of this book and it has paid for itself with the valuable information and numerous tips it gives. If you want to know how to sell on ebay, this is the book for you!

An excellent "how to" get started book.

As you read this you should be hearing Copelands "Fanfare for the Common Man" since this publication was written for the common man. No jargon or computer buzz words, only plain English. But more importantly the organization and layout was well planned and thoughtfully arranged to make it easy to follow and help is provided. For example, if a procedure is written to do certain steps on the eBay forms, a section of the exact eBay form is provided with lines leading from the text to the exact spot on the form. There are many small paragraphs for the specific function detailed with its own bold title so that it stands out on the page along with profuse illustrations and examples. I suggest that the best first step is go to eBay as browser and examine how things are searched and displayed to get a feel of what eBay is all about. Then as you explore the intricacies of the steps leading up to a complete understanding of the selling requirements you will see the value of the linearly progression of the steps outlined. It is very important to read the "READ ME FIRST" on Page ix. Do not skip the eBay basics They are the stepping stones to the deeper water of selling your items. Remember you are getting into the real world and it is populated with real people and if you make a misstep you cannot shut down and restart as you would a computer game. This book is a very valuable desktop reference but you should seriously read it before diving into the "selling" pool.

Just what I needed!

I never thought I'd need another book about selling stuff on eBay, but this one proved me wrong! I learned how to sell stuff I didn't even know I had! Highly recommended.

Already made back the cost of the book!

This book is fantastic!!! I had bought lots of things on Ebay before, but I was always intimidated at the thought of selling. Not any more! I learned everything I needed from this book, and now I have already made back the cost of the book and then some!The book is very clear, very well-written, and very funny! You wouldn't expect it from a book like this, but it's really clever!I heartily recommend this book. Buy it!
