Customer Reviews  Watch the competition...
Some of the advice in this short book is on the mark and worth the modest price. Other points may work only in certain selling categories; the best gauge is what the sellers in that category that get the best prices are doing. For example, the author is correct that providing photos and getting the right title are critical. Sometimes the description of an item leaves a lot unsaid, but the item still gets a good price because of the photos. Other advice I don't believe is applicable to all categories, particularly not using HTML. Consumer electronics is one area where sellers that seem to get the highest prices have pretty slick presentations, usually with lots of HTML which the author derides. I wouldn't want to try to compete there without the same. Even in collectibles I've seen presentations dressed up with HTML outperform the competition. All in all, the book is OK for the money.     Already made my money back with this book!
I consider myself a casual ebay user doing auction sales as a hobby instead of trying to make money. Even so, who wouldn't want to bring in more money? After I bought and read this book, I applied the tips that the author described and was amazed at the noticeable difference in how my auctions attracted attention. The auction page hits easily doubled if not tripled what I was getting compared to my experience prior to reading this book. This book is written in a very easy to read style and although the first-time reader may be tempted to jump to the end to start using the tips, I encourage that reader to start from the beginning and read straight through to the end. Even for the more experienced ebay seller, this book does have enough tips to make it worth your while. I keep my copy close at hand to as I create new auctions so I don't miss out on any of the tips! The author encourages readers to email with questions. I have emailed the author on occasion with questions and have received prompt and helpful responses. Definitely a great book and a super author!     The BEST Guide to Succeeding in ebay sales!
This is a fantastic resource! No one should start selling on ebay without first reading this book and applying the techniques. Every facet of selling thru an auction is laid out, step by step, and with a checklist to ensure that you have created the perfect auction!

He took the time to explain additional points to me and even provided links to relevant auctions of items that I planned to sell! The first step in creating an ebay seller account is to BUY THIS BOOK!!!! It deserves 10 stars! |
