This book gave me tons of new ideas about how to shop on ebay. I didn't know that I could buy such interesting items - Pizza? It's written in an easy to read style, and I actually laughed out loud while I was reading it. Some of the stuff I knew, but I really learned a lot about the different areas of ebay that I hadn't visited before. I also found some new ideas on how to get deals. It's a fun book at a great price, I'm giving it as a holiday gift to all my friends who are always asking me about ebay.

In these hard economic times everyone is looking for a bargain...a daunting task of frustration and aggravation if you don't know where to go or what to do. Only Marsha Collier through her dummy series with her savy style and sense of humor, unlocks the secret passages into the ebay search engines. She teaches the reader first and foremost how to navigate through this maze with specific, clear, and concise steps. This book is loaded with bargain shopping secrets and tips, but that's only the beginning of the reader's fabulous journey. Marsha teaches the reader how to shop safely, protect yourself from bad sellers, avoid a bad transaction, pay for that prized bargain, what you should expect from a seller and what sellers want you to know. Marsha, the guru of ebay leaves no stone unturned in exposing where the bargains are; you're only limited by your imagination !! Marsha refers to ebay as the world's largest shopping mall that never closes and explains why ebay serves as the greatest source for bargain hunting. Whether you are a powerseller known by the nickname of " Bulk " or a casual bargain hunter looking for a diamond in the rough this book will serve to stretch your hard earned dollars !!

This book gives you a lot of imformation on buying on Ebay, and the do's and don'ts of what to do on Ebay, like paying for your item, bidding,feedback, etc. If you are new to Ebay buying or want to sell something, this is a good starter book to read.

This book is different that a lot of the other eBay stuff available. It's more like a value guide. There's a lot of insight into finding cheap prices and bidding to keep prices low in here. I especially like the insight on finding travel bargains and cheap business wear, two of my favorite things to buy on eBay.

I've been shopping on eBay (as well as Amazon :-) for years. But my mother and mother-in-law are both novices. They're always bugging me with, "What's this eBay thing? What can I get on there? My friend completed her discontinued china set on eBay.." All with the gist of "How can I do this too." As soon as I saw this book was coming out, I picked up two copies of it (mother in laws are rarely great sharers) and gave it to them. Finally! They get what eBay is all about. They know how to set up their user accounts, how the "store" is laid out, how to uncover the best deals and, most importantly for them, how to stay safe when buying on eBay. Now, they're ready to get off and running. In fact, they picked up so much great information, they even taught me a few things (no more staying up late waiting for an auction to end in order to swoop in with the best bid!) This book is great! It's an easy read, and you can jump around to find the points that are most relevant to you. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to become an eBay power shopper.
