Reader Reviews
This review is from: How to Do Everything with Your eBay Business (Paperback)
I consider myself moderately tech savvy and although I had a few eBay transactions under my belt as a buyer and seller, I found this book very informative. I bought this and the dummy book and I found this one more helpful. I keep going back to this one to lookup for tips and tidbits. This book emphasis is on those who want to sell full time on eBay and it touches all the bases from taking pictures, equipment needed, helpful software, and more. It also offers great links to eBay and other sites to help you out. I really enjoyed that he profiles several successful full time eBay sellers and their stories. It's great to hear from those who are making it. If your trying to become a full time eBay seller like me this book should be on your desk!
