The Official Ebay Guide to Buying, Selling and Collecting Just About Anything by Kaiser Laura Fisher, Laura Fisher Kaiser, Michael B. Kaiser (1997)

This is a good overview of eBay. It gives detailed information on how to place bids and buy items. It also gives excellent information for sellers.

The book is divided into the following sections;
The Thrill of the Hunt
Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow
Making Contact
You Are What You Collect
Putting It All Together

I thought the introduction by Pierre Omidyar was a great read. "eBay has given many people a way to achieve sucess on their own terms, whether that means becoming a self-sufficient businessperson, finding all the lost toys from one's childhood, or simply finding a bunch of like-minded souls."

This book is a great place to find eBay trivia. Recommended!

i like that it goes step by step. I was disapointed that it didn't explain the paypal portion and how they work together. I wanted to know who marks the $ on ebay for paid and if it is automatic. Paying for multiple items how that works. The icons/buttons who puts them on for paying, costs for paypal etc.
