This book provides a good presentation on the intrigacies of

Ebay selling. The author describes the importance of getting

user feedback because this is a function of how well we do.

It's necessary to get the buyer's attention with catchy selling

presentations/descriptions. Generally, no reserve auctions make

better sales. The Turbo lister is recommended for multiple sales.

Publishing a picture can be critical because many buyers want to

see what they're purchasing. Lastly, a good description is crucial to sale. Provide all relevant details. i.e.



- guarantee

- ease of utilization

- general condition

- minor repairs , if needed

- manufacture date

- model number etc.



The more detail provided- the better it is for the potential

buyer. Very often, buyers are looking for a very specific

make, model and condition of the item for sale. If you provide

this information on a timely basis, it is more probable that a

sale will be consumated. In addition, pricing is important.

Price an item so that it sells quickly. If the price is set

too high, there may be little or no interest. Sometimes, it pays

to sell around a holiday. With the pressure of holiday shopping,

consumers just may pay more money for the convenience of getting

the item early without long waiting lines or extensive travel

from store to store looking for available stock at an affordable

price.

Anyone with the least bit of PC knowledge and customer service skills can sell on any on-line venue. Most have it set up to walk you through step by step. Besides, eBay raised their fees so high as of 2/18/05 that many sellers are flocking to other venues like www.overstock.com/auctions!

I consider myself moderately tech savvy and although I had a few eBay transactions under my belt as a buyer and seller, I found this book very informative.

This book emphasis is on those who want to sell full time on eBay and it touches all the bases from taking pictures, equipment needed, helpful software, and more. It also offers great links to eBay and other sites to help you out. I really enjoyed that he profiles several successful full time eBay sellers and their stories. It's great to hear from those who are making it. If your trying to become a full time eBay seller like me this book should be on your desk!
