5.0 out of 5 stars Want to Post Pictures on eBay - buy THIS book!, December 10, 1999

If you're interested in getting the maximum results in the minimum amount time - this book is for you! It definitely "cuts to the chase" you don't have to weed through a lot of extraneous information. I found the area on how to Post Auction Photos to be succinct & to the point...& the best is -- it worked! So, if you're looking to post pictures on eBay (particularly from AOL - that's what I used) then this is by far the best book on the subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely useless, November 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Buyers/Sellers Guide for eBay Auctions and More (Paperback)

This pamphlet (I wouldn't even call it a book) provides absolutely no useful information that you can't get from ebay itself. It might be helpful to 3rd graders, because it's written at their level, but for anyone else, don't waste your money. I decided to return it immediately upon seeing it and reading a couple of pages.

The only thing it's good for is scamming money from unsuspecting customers to profit the "authors" (and I use that term lightly).

I'd give it no stars if that was an option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ebay Auction Guide, Direct and Informative, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Buyers/Sellers Guide for eBay Auctions and More (Paperback)

I enjoyed the book because it was straightforward. The authors did a good job condensing a lot of information from a variety of areas into easy reading. I was especially happy to find that the chapter on how to add photos to my descriptions was so easy to understand. I've been using one of the examples for completing the transaction and it has worked well for me. I have always wanted to start my own business selling antiques on Ebay and after reading this book, I have a clearer picture of what all is involved and how to get started.
