I bought this book to learn more about starting my eBay business. I had previously bought another book written by an eBayer who has become very successful selling products on eBay. I thought his book was good too, but didn't go into great detail on some of the basic beginning steps. To be honest, I have only gotten into the first two chapters of eBay for Dummies. So far I have been pleased with it. When I have gotten into the real "meat" of it and have actually started selling, I will write another review.
This book is written for the person who is still relatively new to eBay, selling some stuff here and there and has thought about getting a little more into eBay, going from what's now is just a hobby and now turning it into a profitable business. This book cover the different ways which you can explore sourcing your products to sell, business practices, taxes, shipping, photographing, researching the selling price, management tools and much more. This book gives a really good base to get your business started. I would highly recommend it for most anyone out there who has been doing eBay to clean out the garage or basement and now wants to sell on eBay seriously. This book is written at the high school level. Picture are helpful for get the point across. I would put this the 2nd book to read in Marsha's series of books on eBay. Retail price for this book is $24.99 if if you already have been using eBay you know you can get this much cheaper. David Hecker www.stores.ebay.com/madkowcraftsRead full review
The book is for dummies...and that is exactly how it is written. It doesn't tell you a lot about everything, but it does give you bits of information on pretty much anything you would need to start out a new buisness. The neat thing that I have found the most interesting is that it gives hints on how to select and purchase products that you wish to sell. My wife and I are starting to build a buisness now and we couldn't do it with the help of this book. Another good point to make is that if it doesn't give you the answer you are looking for, it has pages of links to various websites that will give you more specific information.
The reason I bought the book was, I have a goal of starting my own ebay business. The book is filled with helpful and detailed processes that you would use to start your own business. Some of those processes range from equipment,buying and selling to helpful web sites. I am still low on the eBay user learning curve but with useful information like this book I will succeed! I can't think of anything I don't like about it-money well spent! eBay user carolynz-2008
I've been buying and selling on eBay for 6 years. I bought this book just for an overview before going full time on eBay. I figured that I'd pick up a tip here and there, BOY was I wrong. This book is full of great ideas from cover to cover. I've read it from front to back 4 times and each time I spot something new or grasp a new way of doing something that I didn't spot the earlier times. If you are planning on starting an eBay business then I recommend that you read this book first. Then reread it. You won't be sorry. When you are sure that this is what you want to do, next pick up a copy of Ebay Business for Dummies Desk Reference. You'll then have the knowledge and confidence needed to make a go of your own ebay business.
