 In need of an update
Wow. When I bought this book, I wish I'd taken note of the fact that all the positive reviews were from 2000 and 2001. The table of contents looked like it had everything I wanted to know about, but when I got the book and started to read it, I realized that it was WAY out of date. Most of the coverage of eBay, at least, refers to features that are either no longer available or that have changed radically. It also gives you tips on things like the checkout process that eBay now does for you.

br /There are still some useful tips in here--after all, advice on how to use keywords in your listings and how to pack for shipping never gets out of date--but I'd highly recommend getting a more recent book like O'Reilly's "eBay Hacks, Second Edition". I found that one a LOT more useful and relevant.
Should have had a yellow jacket, and read "for dumbies".
This book was very weak in content. It provides few noteworthy pointers. It is basically a common sense walk-through, of how to view an auction business. If you aren't a complete idiot, you probably have no use for this book.
 Like An Inexpensive Crash Course On Online Auctions
When I finished reading this book, I felt like an "auction expert"... even though I've never bid or sold items on an online auction before. It seems to have many good tips only experience can teach you. I felt I learned all I needed in this book to get a good start. It appears there are no loose ends or anything left out. Very complete with urls to web resources such as appraisers, automation and tracking software to making selling at auctions a business.
 Excellent book to help you sell
Like the other reviewer, I'm not a high-volume Ebay seller but I do run some auctions every month. This book covered a great deal of what I wanted to know about how to run my auctions and make them more profitable. It has a wealth of information on alternate auctions sites too.pHighly recommended for anyone who wants to get going on eBay.
Excellent--a must for anyone who bids or sells.
I'm not high-volume seller, but I run two dozen or so auctions per month on ebay and Amazon. This book is absolutely indispensable! It covers general info about auctions, how to handle problem customers, reviews of auction management software (this alone has made my business 100% better), pros and cons of the various sites, shipping methods, and pretty much everything else you needed to know. Whether you're a buyer or a seller, you need this book!
