A Wealth of Intelligent Information

I've been selling on eBay for sometime (4 1/2 years) and found this book to be refreshing. I believe that big league success comes from having a big league coach. And, I believe this book should be a pre-requisite for anyone wanting to sell on eBay!

Great Book to start your eBay selling!!

This book is a great for getting started on eBay. It's easy to read and has great suggestions on how to list our items. I started selling some things I have around the house and making some money!! Nothing huge but this stuff is essencially free for me. It is surprizing what someone will pay for things. I just followed what he says in his book. The downside of the book is that he promotes his own eBay listing products. He mentions that his isn't the only one out there... remember that. It's an infinite internet world out there and there are more people/companies offering the same thing. Just do your research. He is honest and gives great suggestions. It's easy to read and inspiring. It's great for people who want to try selling on eBay but just didn't have the guts to try. This will get you going... For those who are already selling on eBay... I think there are great suggestions and insight you can pick up from this book too. Happy eBaying...

Don't miss out on your chance to finally start your eBay business. Get this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been buying from eBay for years and I have really enjoyed. I've never had a bad experience. I always wondered what it would be like to 'sell' as well. This book was recommended to me by a fantastic marketer called Bill Glazer. I have a lot of respect for him. Anyway I bought the book as Bill advised and it's really great. It gives fantastic advice on how to get started fast. It really would drive you to ACTION. A few days after reading it I sold my first product.Adam lay's out everything very clearly. I followed Adam's advice and started selling things lying around the house and up in the attic. My son Neil 'tied' down his two fairly large fish tanks incase I sold them as well.;-) I've now progressed to selling three products and the tests are proving very positive. This book will really get you fired up and you will be very enthusiastic after reading it. After reading the I really believe it is possible to start a business on eBay and make serious money. Adam also gives you great help besides the book. He has a serious website with tons of information on it. You get a load of free information when you buy the book. Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Information, Great Resource!

Having never used eBay before, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. It was simple, easy and most importantly FUN to read. Business "how-to" books can be dry and boring...most lose me within the first 2 chapters. I literally sat down in front of the computer, created a sellers account and put my first item up for sale on eBay - all while using this book as my reference guide. This is a great book. The author does provide additional resource tools - some developed by himself and some developed by others - which were very helpful. I can't comment on the "advanced" level of the book, but for someone just starting out this was exactly what I needed!
