    This book really does have something for everyone that plays in the eBay arena. Author Marsha Collier gives you real world advice on not only how to sell, but how to research what to sell and find out how much it will sell for. Now obviously the book cannot tell you how popular something may be, but it teaches you just about every way to find out.

    What I appreciated the most about this book is how serious it talks about running your eBay business like... a business. Marsha helps you understand the basics from setting up your back office (inventory, taxes, computer networking and more) to taking great photographs and writting item descriptions that will sell. I am constantly re-reading certain areas of the book to help me fine tune the small amount of sales I do with my part-time hobby. I plan on expanding my sales in the future, and this book will help anyone (including myself) do just that.

    Thank you for the time you have taken to read my short simple review of this great book. Retail price for this book is $24.99 and can be found at any book store. Even better, search right here on eBay for a copy!

    This book is easy to understand, informative and to the point. Even if you don't start an eBay business, you'll have a better understanding of eBay and how to sell by using this book. I believe that I could suppliment or make a living on e-Bay because of this book.
    But I won't lie, it takes alot of effort and time if you are to be succesful at a e-bay store. I did it for 2 months while I was still working my full time job, as a little experiment. I had some success because of this book, and I just touched the tip of the iceberg . Its good to know I could make money if I had to. When I retire in 10 years, I'll probably buy the newest version of this book and start an e-bay business full/part time. BUY THIS BOOK
