Customer comments on this selection.
 Good info, but outdated
I actually like this book because it does exactly what is claimed, which is to describe methods for making money on ebay. However, the reason I say it is outdated is because, let's face it, all the easy money has already been made. As in anything, you need to be one of the front runners to realize the most potential. If you comparison shop on ebay you will see that the competition is fierce, and that unless you are getting your salable items for next to nothing you will not make any real money.

br /Which brings me to point number two. The book talks of buying items at wholesale and selling on ebay at a profit. Realistically, most people cannot buy at wholesale unless they have a brick and mortar storefront and a verifiable tax id. There are many companies claiming to be wholesalers available to anyone but my research has shown that they are actually just middlemen. THEY get to buy at actual wholesale, and then they mark up the price to sell to you. So you will not get the items cheaply enough to sell at much of a profit.
br /
br /This is not a negative review, just a realistic one. Yes, you can make some money on ebay using this book, but the big players have already made most of the money available. After factoring in your cash outlay to purchase items, ebay's fees, and the fees charged by PayPal, you may find - as I have - that it requires a lot of effort and time to make only a few dollars.

 eBay beginners
Great book for those who are serious about starting to sell on ebay with the hopes of attaining a successful income and business. This book brought up alot of good points and stresses the importance of starting it up as an official business, from the get go. I have not finished reading it yet, but it is a great resource for things to expect, easier ways of doing things, and also some of the problems and how to deal with them (or avoid them!).
br /
br /For those who are already business savvy, this might be too "beginner level" for them. For me, it is perfect.
Great Book For Beginners
This book is perfect if you know nothing or very little about computers and or ebay. It goes into great detail on how to set up a business legally and how to start selling on ebay. It goes over some common do's and don'ts for selling.

br /Also I read this book for beginning to end in one day. It's an easy read with great information in it.
br /
br /The reason I gave this book 4 star ratting is for a couple of reasons. Sometimes (but not often) the word seller is used when the author should have used the word buyer.
br /
br /Also this book is not for people who already have the basics down. If you are looking for a more advanced book on ebay this book is not for you. That being said I will most likely use this book for a reference for some basic things that might be hard to remember.
Very good infos
I read this book in just few days but I often refer to it for detailed info. It is written in a very pleasant style and provide very useful information on how using eBay at its best. I would recommend this book for new comers on Ebay.
 This is the book!
This is the 2nd book I've read recently on eBay. If you are at all serious about setting up a successful eBay business this is the book you want. No fluff here! No selling of additional services offered by the author. No repetitive filler. Just thoughtful and straight forward information. As I've read this book I started to have idea after idea about my eBay business. Best $$$ I've invested so far!
