5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer for the Beginning eBay Seller, June 12, 2007

As an eBay Power Seller myself, and the author of a few "How To" eBooks, I am always interested in reading other successful sellers' experiences. The bottom line is, what worked for them, worked for them because they paid attention to the details and accepted the learning curve that comes with every new venture.

Suzanne Wells and I differ in opinion on several recommendations to the new seller. That does not mean she is wrong and I am right, or vice versa. It simply means that her methods will work, and so will mine. Where we completely agree are on the important subjects of how to treat the customer, how to communicate well, how to sell honestly with honesty, and how to run your eBay business in a professional, organized manner, even if it is strictly your part-time hobby.

I found the 64 page eBook easy to read, grammatically pleasing and with a few very helpful links, but not riddled with advertising. I found the book to be an excellent primer for the beginning eBay seller, and believe the more seasoned seller can also pick up a few tips. Most importantly, the author presents her material as reflective of her experience. She writes from a solid four year success in eBay selling and documents her lessons learned so that others might be able to learn without having to actually make the same mistakes.

I appreciate having had the opportunity to read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great information!, December 9, 2007

I've been on eBay for years, but only recently started selling on eBay. In the past few months, I've made some mistakes and learned the hard way. Oh, how I wish I would have read this BEFORE I started selling! Great information on everything without bogging you down with too much technical information. Even though I thought I had it figured out, the author has opened my eyes to even more possibilities! It's an easy read, with great links to her podcast, and website, along with other great online resources.

She covers everything from where to get what you sell, pricing, shipping, and even the scary stuff like international shipping and how to deal with difficult buyers. Even more advanced things like cross promoting and marketing.

It's a great reassurance to see a mom like me who's making it on eBay.
