This book is great whether you are new to eBay or you have been using it for years. I have done some buying and selling on eBay and while I don’t consider myself an expert I felt pretty confident in my abilities. There are a great many books out there about mastering eBay, but this one stands out amongst the crowd. This book opened my eyes to a whole lot more that eBay can do, for me, for you. The first chapter is the basics of what eBay is. After that it is a plethora of information. It covers topics from how to search to how to bid and how to post and item for the best results and how to attract bidders. This should be called the eBay bible because it is all you need. It can save you money, time, and effort. This book is packed with information that is easy to read and understand. Space is not wasted on excessive graphics; only the most appropriate and useful graphics are included. It is a fast read especially when you start getting excited about what you will learn and how soon you can use this knowledge. For those who are interested in eBay it is a page-turner. I am recommending this book to any one who uses eBay, from beginners to seasoned eBayers. The author participated in some of the original auctions in 1983 aimed at trading computer parts on college campuses, and now is a regular on eBay. He has written over 40 books on various topics, such as technology, writing and eBay.

Michael Banks’ The eBay Survival Guide is another fine guide to selling and buying on eBay – and avoiding common pitfalls – which covers just about everything including discerning the ‘real prices’ of items and learning more effective bidding strategies. From using HTML in listings and handling templates to considering private auctions and handling problem buyers or sellers, all the basics of the interactive auction forum that is eBay are covered.

eBay has truly redefined the landscape for buying and selling. Now everything you can think of has a market, and it’s virtual. If you haven’t tried to buy or sell on eBay before, or if it’s just been an occasional thing, you might want to check out The eBay Survival Guide – How To Make Money & Avoid Losing Your Shirt by Michael Banks.
Contents:
Part 1 – How eBay Works: What You’ll Find on eBay; How eBay Auctions Work; Finding Stuff on eBay – The Basics; Finding Stuff on eBay – High-Power Searches; What Is It Worth?
Part 2 – eBay For Sellers: Seller Do’s and Don’ts; Figuring Out What to Sell; Sources of Items to Sell; Listing Items – When and How; How to Create Listings That Sell; It Didn’t Sell
Part 3 – eBay For Buyers: Buyer Do’s and Don’ts; Bid to Win!; How to Turn a Loss into a Win; Paying for and Getting Your Items
Part 4 – How Not To Get Ripped Off And What To Do If You Do: Shills, Sleazes, and Seller Scams; Bogus Products and Moneymaking Scams; How to Investigate Other eBay Members; eBay-Speak – Abbreviations and Acronyms; Index
This is probably one of the most complete books on using eBay that I’ve had the chance to review. It’s not overly large, so it’s not intimidating when you first pick it up. The progression of information follows a very nice logical flow. Learn about eBay, learn what to do in both the buyer and seller role, and then learn what to do in the “exception” situations. Regardless of whether you approach eBay from the buyer or seller role, the necessary information you need to fully utilize eBay is in here. The author even goes into third-party services that can help you get the most for your money. Some services track bid pricing and trends so you can figure out the best combination of pricing options for your item. Other services watch a bid for you in order to place last-second bids to try and win an item you’re coveting. Whether you think stuff like that is fair or not, it’s being used and you have to know how it will affect you as a buyer.
Armed with this book, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be successful with eBay… Good stuff.
