3.0 out of 5 stars Ho-Hum, July 29, 2006

This review is from: How to Sell Toys and Hobbies on eBay (How to Sell Toys & Hobbies on Ebay) (Paperback)

If you have never sold anything on Ebay and want to get started, this book will provide you with step-by-step basics on how to get up and running in a light, easy-to-read style. And it doesn't really matter what category you want to sell in because, unfortunately, this book has very little to offer in the Toys and Hobbies category specifically. It doesn't even have the helpful sidebars that were prominent in the first two books in this series.

Bottom line: A good how-to resource for someone brand-new to eBay, no matter what category they want to sell in; but experienced sellers will find it boring. Sorry, but there's nothing new to learn here.
