2.0 out of 5 stars Tries Hard to Cover Everything, March 1, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Developing eBay Business Tools For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) (Paperback)
A significant proportion of this book is dedicated to producing well presented listings. Easy HTML for ebay does a far better job of covering the same ground. There are also alot of quick tips that are easy to apply (and have been better covered in books such as ebay hacks).

Most of the software packages on the CD are trial versions. Nothing innovative or new is included.

The descriptions of the ebay sandbox and API are very superficial - enough to get you started but little else. The chapter on office development tells you that "serious"
experience is required and little information is availible from the ebay development site and advises the reader to concentrate on PHP - not bad advice but it takes 7 pages to get there.

Conclusion: the scope of the book is overambitious. It results in a good description of how to prepare listings, some useful tips and a superficial introduction to the ebay API.
