4.0 out of 5 stars Help is available, May 3, 2003

This review is from: Online Auctions! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Mass Market Paperback)

This book did, indeed, help me through a jungle I had not
entered before. It was worth the price of admission. Since
following the steps outlined, I have both bought and sold
with confidence and success. Why not 5 stars? I don't know,
maybe because no one is perfect. I appreciated the book
very much.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a How to for Sellers, just basic customer service info, October 24, 2001

This review is from: Online Auctions! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Mass Market Paperback)

This book will not show you how to be an Ebay Power Seller. It goes over very basic stuff: How to ship, leaving feedback, sending emails, putting up images, how to be an Ebay buyer. I did not gain anything from it. You can learn all of this for free online, by listing items. Also it is full of typos and other errors.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Quick Read For Novices With Commonsense Advice, March 19, 2001

This review is from: Online Auctions! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... (Mass Market Paperback)

There's nothing really wrong with this book; it is well-written and clearly organized. But it's usefulness is limited to auction novices with commonsense and solid (if unspectacular) advice. The more veteran eBay'er will find little new here. The author includes comments, experiences and advices from three veteran online sellers. It's a pity this idea wasn't expanded both by the number of commentators and the frequency of thier insights. Serviceable freeware is included (which is almost guaranteed to be out-of-date by the time the package is opened). But it is a useful starting point for those new to this "hobby".
