The Ebay Millionaire by Amy Joyner (2005, Hardcover)

Good question for those that see the cover and wonder what deep dark secret is inside the book. Or if enlightenment will strike you once you have read it this book cover from cover!

Well, there appears to be no one Secret to become a Titanium PowerSeller (TPS)!

Indeed, where one TPS tells you that starting auctions at 99 cents is the way they go and why, another TPS says they would never start an auction at 99 cents, because that is where their listing would probably end up at!

That's because each of the sample TPS talked about in this book are or were basically at one time an uniuque seller! What worked for eac of these TPS worked for them after trying a few different business models and finding the right one for them.

There is no one secret, or even multiple secrets as to why each of the sample eBayers in this book became a TPS. But behind it all was a lot of hard work as several started from either their garage, basement, or home office!

I find it interesting that several are no longer TPS on eBay today. There are several mentions of changes that had occured while on their way to TPS status, and that most were working on their own web site in addition to their eBay Store. With the ongoing eBay changes so far this year in 2008, it would be wise to follow their example in this.

This book is copyrighted 2005, and is starting to show its' age, but the individual stories by each of the TPS is timeless. Definitely a book to check out at your libary at least, if not picking up a discounted on eBay itself!
