“…Her top lessons, from selecting merchandise to shipping, proves you really can lap up the profits from your living room.” (Voyager, July/Aug 2005)

Product Description

Proven strategies and the latest selling tips from eBay's most elite merchants

With an estimated 200,000 people making a full-time living selling goods on eBay, and millions more earning a part-time income, it's clear that eBay can create some impressive profits for those who know what they're doing. The eBay Millionaire profiles 25 of eBay's elite Titanium Power Sellers-those who move more than $150,000 in goods every month-and reveals the secrets to their success. Author Amy Joyner reveals the fifty top lessons for profitably selling almost anything on eBay, from how to select the best mix of merchandise, ship goods, and keep customers happy to working with wholesalers, making the leap from part-time to full-time selling, and looking like a million-dollar business even if you're working from your kitchen table.

Amy Joyner (Greensboro, NC) is an award-winning reporter for the News & Record in Greensboro, North Carolina, who has been covering e-commerce and entrepreneurship for many years. She is the coauthor of Making Dough (0-471-43209-1) and has won awards for her writing from the Associated Press, North Carolina Press Association, and other organizations, as well as three Knight Center Fellowships for business, aviation security, and military reporting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a great tool, Jun 26 2005

By Dvany - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The eBay Millionaire: Titanium PowerSeller Secrets for Building a Big Online Business (Hardcover)

Don't expect too much from this book. This book is merely an advertising tool for ebay powersellers. You get to know their history, their ebay IDs, their products and a sales pitch on how great they are. Sure they gave some tips here and there but don't expect any secrets. One seller said that the most important part of a sucessful ebay business is the source of product, but he doesn't reveal his source. Another seller said that drop shipping is an important part of his business. You don't have to touch the product and you can save storage space. Great, did he tell us which company he uses to drop ship? Nope.

Again, don't expect any secrets. If you like motivational books and want to read success stories, then I suppose this book might do; but if you're looking for secrets to start or enhance your current business, get another book. Try Marsha Collier and her various ebay books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only Somewhat Helpful, Aug 19 2005

By Alex Gordon "Alex" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The eBay Millionaire: Titanium PowerSeller Secrets for Building a Big Online Business (Hardcover)

I eagerly bought this book since I'm looking for ways to grow my eBay business. While it includes a smattering of tips, they didn't make the book worth the investment. The tips are mostly included within profiles of "Titanium" PowerSellers--these are the folks making something like $150,000 a month. While they have something of value to say, they really don't speak to the vast majority of eBay sellers who now sell on eBay on the side, and want to make this sideline their fulltime work. What we really need is a comprehensive book that takes you step-by-step through the selling process, and that quotes and profiles people like you and me--not just the Donald Trumps of the eBay world! In other words, sellers who have graduated to the low-mid PowerSeller ranks, but who remember clearly what it's like to be just starting out.

Also this book is only about 260 pages, and at $22.95 (or even $16.00 on Amazon), I didn't feeel I was getting enough for my money.

In short there are better books out there and unless you have the money for an extensive eBay book collection, you're better off with any number of those (the listmania lists here are pretty helpful for a quick review).

4.0 out of 5 stars Very inspiring for beginners, Sep 29 2005

By ebay cellar - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The eBay Millionaire: Titanium PowerSeller Secrets for Building a Big Online Business (Hardcover)

This is a pretty good "how to" book. However, if you've been selling at all on ebay, there's not a whole lot of "secret" left to much of the text - a lot of it I had figured out on my own through trial and error. If you haven't sold much on ebay, the PowerSellers success stories will definitely be inspiring. For more advanced ebay sellers, I'd suggest "The 7 essential steps to successful ebay marketing"- I picked up a copy the other day, and read it in a night! It's more of a strategy book than a "tip" book and I'm confident that it's going to help me earn more money with my ebay business.
