Reader Reviews
This review is from: Online Auctions at eBay, 2nd Edition: Bid with Confidence, Sell with Success (Miscellaneous) (Paperback) I had been on Ebay for a few months when I read this book, and I have a feedback rating of 36. Some people said that this book is only for the people who are very new at Ebay. I disagree! Dennis Prince does an OUTSTANDING job of explaining Ebay to people at all different places on the learning curve. The book is entertaining, captivating, and so very informative! His humorous style makes it a real pleasure to read. I knew a fair amount of what Dennis has to say in the book, but I learned quite a bit too. He covers MANY different situations and tells them how to handle them. He deals with etiquette the eBay way and you will feel comfortable hopping right into the eBay auction scene after reading this book! He covers bidding, selling (including how to research your item so you know what to charge for it), how to win if it's something you REALLY want to have, and much much more. He also covers in detail how to pack things safely and where to get materials, etc. Dennis also covers how to take pictures of your items and get them on your item listing page.
