4.0 out of 5 stars Great book - Missed one critical tool, Sep 21 2003
This review is from: eBay For Dummies, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This book is very well written and will give you a lot of instruction on how to use eBay that will save you lots of time. To find out how to sell products on eBay I would recommend Marsha's other book Starting an eBay business for Dummies in addition to this one. I recently became a millionaire buying and selling on eBay in my spare time in addition to my academic work and I can tell you its not that hard. You do have to know the secrets though and this book includes a lot but left out the biggest one. There is a software tool called www.powersnipe.com. eBay auctions are often lost in the last few seconds of the auction because the majority of people wait until the last seconds to place their bids. This tool bids for you at the last second and ensures you win, a big time saver and the biggest key to success.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great eBay book...but quite opinionated...., Sep 4 2003
This review is from: eBay For Dummies, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This is one of the GREAT eBay books--covering about everything--but is quite opinionated. For example the author has the strange notion that money orders are the perfect way for paying at eBay. (Possibly because she is a sucessful seller, and I guess the little amount PayPal charges to receive money adds up if you receive a lot.) The reader, if a newbie to eBay, needs to keep in mind that the author's prejudice against PayPal is not shared by everyone. For many, PayPal is the absolute best way to go for both buying and selling...no running down to the 7-11 or post office to get a money order...no having to listen to a buyer lying about how the money order must have gotten lost in the mail, when they never sent one. At one point, the author even strangely advises the reader to lie if they need to about forgetting to send money! She also makes it sound like those selling illegal items are quickly booted out of eBay, when it's no such thing. eBay is easily one of the biggest pirate's den in the whole wide world for people infringing on the copyrights of others.Gee, and then there was her remark about how the bidder should never bid in an auction until the very end--doing so marks the bidder as an inexperienced newbie. That's one of the stupidest practices at eBay...unless the seller is a cheat who's into getting his friends or relatives to bid...and takes so much out of the fun of an auction...no activity to the very end...BLAH!The humor in the book is also extremely forced and unfunny. Or maybe after you've read so many Dummies books, none of the humor is amusing any longer...unless the topic has you totally scared out of your mind...and you are desperate for a laugh...any laugh.Ah, but it's still a great eBay book, with loads of useful information! And it resells VERY WELL at eBay...so feel free to buy it new here at Amazon.com...get free postage...and then resell it at eBay and get most of your money back! Just don't spill anything on it, or write in it, or let your pet rabbit chew on it! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars The only guide any eBay user needs!, Nov 3 2002
This review is from: eBay For Dummies, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
eBay for Dummies is what really got me hooked on the company. I have had the privilege of buying from and selling to many people I don't even know so I can enhance my coin/sports/whatever collection or just make a few extra bucks. Marsha Collier writes this book with everything you need to know about being an eBay loyalist without the technical jargon. I'll be able to enhance my buying and selling skills as time goes by, and all the info I need is here in this book. Well written!
