Best reference 4 selling on eBay
This book not only is a great introduction to eBay, it's the best reference book to selling on eBay I've seen because of the extensive glossary, index & guide to those odd acronymns. It's also a realistic guide to selling -- no rose-colored classes. There are not too many illustrations in here but the ones there are a big help. This book is a keeper, I'm going to keep it within arm's reach. From the books I've seen, this one is the most up-to-date also.

More Than Just 101
I started selling at eBay in 1995 when there were just 1200 items 4 sale & only two categories. And I thought I knew everything. Ha! Steve Weber's book has everything. And as a past teacher trainer at Ohio State University & other institutions I can say that Steve wrote this book in the perfect style--large type, space between words & lines, & easy-to-read pictures of eBay screens.
My only advice to the reader is to realize that selling at eBay gets harder & harder as the years pass. Steve makes eBay selling sound like a sure bet. Believe me, it isn't. Of course, he is so much more successful at it than I ever was. Hmmm-I think I'll go back & read the book again & take notes.--Sam Yulish, author of "Where Have All the Hippies Gone?" & many publications 4 teachers.

Another Steve Weber How-To Book
This book is the third Steve Weber book I have read, the first two being "The Home-Based Bookstore" & "Plug Your Book." I was quite enthusiastic about both of Steve's earlier efforts because they were extremely helpful & Steve wrote both well. Those comments apply to this book also.
The marvelous thing about this book is that it starts with the basics & works up to advanced techniques & clever strategies. When I say basics, I mean the kind of information that someone new to eBay would find helpful. What do certain words mean? How do I, & fill in the blank. Steve covers everything you can think of as a newcomer to eBay. Yet, Steve moves quickly & someone going from occasional seller to wondering about setting up a business can move past the basics easily.
What more is there to learn? Steve provides great advice on where to find more stuff 4 your eBay business. He also provides guidance 4 evaluating quality & describing your merchandise. All this advice keeps in mind the need to satisfy customers so that they will give you positive feedback & keep coming back.
Just like those popular television commercials, this is the point where I say, but wait, there is more! Steve discusses how to track stock & where it is located. He reviews several software options to handle an expanding enterprise. Included in his advice are options 4 the most cost effective method of shipping. Steve then provides a lot of detail on how you can expand your customer base through various techniques 4 advertising your business. I think there are at least half a dozen techniques 4 getting your business exposed on the internet, including how to fare well with Google searches.
I am touching on just a few of the numerous topics in the fifteen chapters in this book. There are at least 140 sub-headings in this book covering more topics than I had considered when thinking about selling on eBay. With all this powerful information, Steve did something more amazing; he included input from others. [...]
As with any purchase you make, what you want to know is whether this book is worth buying. If you fancy yourself expanding into eBay as a business, or expanding a current eBay business, or you just want to know how eBay works, then this book is worth far more than its price.
One thing I always notice about self-published books is how well they are written. I was unable to find a single grammar error in this book. Therefore, not only is this book full of valuable information, but that information is nicely organized & reading about that information is a pleasure.
Self-help books often seem like they need help themselves. I have read many self-help books by people claiming to be experts in their particular field of endeavor. When you read these books, you quickly realize that the book babbles on about trivialities or the organization is poor. Worse, some of these books have errors that even a novice recognizes. To find a well-written self-help book by an author who has successfully used the techniques in that book is always a wonder. "eBay 101" is such a book.
Enjoy!
