I love Jim's show so i bought the book--But I found out that it will be useful for someone just starting out and not advanced sellers. If you are advanced this will be a quick read-Nothing really new- I read it in about 30 minutes---really just by skimming through it--but very nice and useful if you are just starting out and need advice on basic things like shipping, drop shipping,turbolister--I think the title for this book should have been ---Ebay FAQ's -- Please vote for this review so that others may benefit from it--if you have any questions please ask me--Free
good luck

I like this book. It is new. I don't think it has been using at all. So I paid a lot cheaper that other places. Otherwise, it took so much time to be arrived to my house.

  Book came used although sold as new
Review created: 07/13/08

Hi - was dissapointed that book came to me in used condition although it was listed as new. It may not be a big deal but list what you sell. The spine was creased in several places, there was a big black magic marker line on the bottom end of the book, and the cover showed slight wear in several places. It is still in very good condition but it was not at all by any means new.

This is a great book for an ebay beginner. Someone with little or know knowldege of ebay. The book offered some resouses for me however I already had learned most of the stuff through ebay.

I would recommend this book to a new ebayer! Good book over all though.

  How Uncle Griff helped turn a negative into a positive
Review created: 06/09/08
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I let my frustration with the “one sided” DRS rating system consume my thinking, I closed my eBay Store May 1. I even sent an email to Uncle Griff.
I was shocked to receive a reply and over a few weeks many more email exchanges. The Guru of eBay was actually communicating with me on a one to one exchange. Among a number of suggestions was the purchase the HUGE eBay Bible. I was able to find a Third Edition and over 2 days read it from cover to cover. Much of the information was already known but there were suggestions that made the purchase well worthwhile.
I’m now reconstructing my eBay Store (wjandystools) and after I master the technique of file exchange I’ll have somewhere between 2000 to 3000 items in the store and then plans for the eBay Pro Stores with over 17,000 items in it.
For anyone thinking of buying or selling on eBay this resource is by far the best there is.
Thanks again

  Jump-starting me out of procrastination.
Review created: 06/07/08

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I'm excited about starting to sell on ebay and just thumbing through this book has inspired me to start "getting serious" after a long period of procrastination. I enjoy the humor, which seemed unforced unlike that found in many such books. The book is very well organized and seems to cover just about everything.

  THE OFFICIAL EBAY BIBLE" Jim "Griff" Griffith
Review created: 04/21/08

Just got the book "The Official Ebay Bible" today by Jim "Griff" Griffith...Thanks Griff!!!

What a fantastic book!!! So glad I found it...or should I say, it found me!!!

;0)

This book is FILLED with sooooo much valuable, helpful information!!! Not to mention Griff, your introduction to ebay was similar to my situation, so reading your personal story and the experiences of other ebay users in your book, adds a nice, warm touch indeed! Like the community on ebay I've met so far!

For me being NEW to ebay, I've been trying to get a better understanding of what ebay's about without making too many mistakes! Up until now, I've been joining groups & trying to read the discussion boards which can be a little overwhelming to someone who's new to this ebay internet world...but I'm having fun learning!

I'm finding that reading this book is a nice step away from my computer without stepping away from ebay...if that makes any sense!

As a NEW buyer & as a NEW seller on ebay, What else do I have to say about this book...

GREAT WRITING!!!

I find this book to be an easy read...and when I say easy, I mean the book is fatter than "Gone With The Wind", and when I saw it, I must admit, I was a little intimidated by the appearance...only 744 pages...but like the saying says "Never judge a book by it's cover!"

This book is not intimidating at all. On the contrary, It's a breath of fresh air, having the answers right in front of me to many of my questions and being able to have a reference, in hand, to turn to right away is reassuring.
I'm actually getting through the book rather quickly which is not surprising...I can't seem to put this book down!

I especially LOVE "Griffs Tips" & the personal stories that's shared throughout the book. When I decided to start selling on ebay, I was at a BIG turning point in my life. I had all these skills that I wanted to utilize from years of experience working in customer service and being an artist. I'm another one of those stories Griff that you can add to your next book, ebay has changed my life too!

  Must read

Being a novice to ebay, I needed some kind of guide to help me out. Using ebay's help menu is worth while, but sometimes there are questions you don't know how to ask. That is were this book comes in. My listings are clearer than they used to be and I am a smarter buyer than I was before. Also a lot of helpfull tricks to buying and selling make this book a must read.

I bought this book because I was new to ebay and wanted to learn more about how to do business on this site. This book is a must for any new person who is serious about building a business on ebay or learning how to buy or sell for personal pleasure.

I WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS BOOK BY A FELLOW E-BAYER . I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH HIM WHEN HE SAYS THAT EVERY NEW E-BAYER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO READ AND HELPFUL. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE LISTING, UPKEEP AND EBAY PROCESS IN GENERAL. I LEARNED ABOUT THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT BEFORE . TAX LIABILITIES AND FEES, BOOKKEEPING AND ORGANIZATION IDEAS.

IT WAS A GOOD READ AND SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT FOR ANY EBAYER.
