Customer Reviews

Very cool book

Even if you know everything about Ebay, you'll find something new in this book. Really good book for reference use & for beginners. Just contains neat tid bits of usuable information you might otherwise not know.

I'm no Dummy!

Typical of any new undertaking in which I want to ensure my own success, I arm myself with all forms of information. My coffee table is now covered in eBay instruction manuals which I have spent most of my free time reading in the last several weeks. I could have saved a lot of time AND money if I had only bought this bible FIRST. To my budgetary detriment, I fear, I am a proven expert eBay bidder - seldom do I lose if there's an item I really want. Clearly, it is time to rent a storage unit for the resultant material abundance or reverse that fortune by sharing the excitement of successful bidding with other buyers. I, too, may feel differently after many years of selling experience. I may even feel compelled to write my own book! But I am one who needs reasons for the approaches I take and choices I make - and this book joyfully and succinctly lays out the very nitty-gritty I needed to entice buyers, appear professional and not lose my mind trying to follow directions on a computer screen, or feel I may have missed an opportunity not offered or clarified directly on eBay, or lose orders, or jeopardize the last vestiges of order in my home office. Yes, I'd recommend The eBay Bible as a wise, and even inspiring, business investment.

This is a great book!

This book tells you everything. I haven't finished reading it all yet! But, I am very impressed with the down-to-earth way in which it is written. I'm not very computer savvy and this book deals with that, also. So, the bottom line is this, anyone can benefit from this book. It is very detailed.

The best ebay reference for new and experienced alike

There are a lot of guides out there on ebay, but none quite like this one. Griff covers everything, it is excellent if you are just getting started, but also excellent if an issue comes up for the experienced too. He writes for sellers and buyers both. This will become your best resource for all things ebay. He even tells you how to snipe!

Truly the Bible of eBay! Five Stars!

I started using ebay off and on several years ago but last month when I decided to get serious about making money on eBay, I bought this book. Mr. Griffith created this book as a wonderful resource directory that while flying on airplanes without access to the internet, I was able to get all my questions answered about the endless opportunities that eBay has to offer. Whatever you want to know about eBay, buying, selling and making money, Griff covers it in this book. In my opinion it is probably the only book you will ever need to be successful on eBay!
