There are now something like a half million people making a living from selling things using eBay. In this one book Ms. Collier attemts to tell everything there is about settin yourself up in such a business. It’s about as complete a book on the subject that could be written.
My first advice is: “Before you sell, go buy some things.” She talks about finding things to buy using eBay’s various search tools. She also gives out some of the little secrets such as searching on mispellings. For instance searching for “motherboard” right now finds 5328 entries. Leaving out the “a” and searching for “motherbord” finds five entries that aren’t getting much action. One “motherbord” has two bids, one penny and six pennies.
After that you’re ready to sell things. This book is mostly on selling thing (check your spelling). And every aspect from signing up as a seller to getting payment (Paypal and other), to setting up your own store is included.
The section on getting products to sell is as good as you could expect in a general book, but you’re going to have to work this out yourself as you will need to specialize in something. What that specialty is doesn’t much matter, but you’ve got to find some little niche of your own. That’s got to include what will sell and where to get more at a good price. Don’t get me wrong, her comments aren’t incorrect, just generalized.

This is a very comprehensive book. Much of the information you will already know if you have bought on eBay. Although it is a large volume, it will answer all your questions and give pieces of information you would not have thought of or give multiple choices to chose from. I think it is a great book and find doing all the reading well worth finding those “gems” of information that can make a difference in working on eBay. The more time put into the checking (whether a buyer, seller, looking for an item, etc.) the more successful an eBay business will be. A successful business is never done overnight and the author obviously didn’t become successful without having done her homework and expended the effort to make it work.

If you’re on a tight budget, much of what she tells you is actually explained on eBay in the “Site Map”, but you can’t spend ALL your time online! For example: I wanted to have my own domain outside eBay. Marsha provided a springboard saving me hours of research time. I ended up with one of her suggestions. That tip alone has saved me beaucoup $$. Ideal for beginning to intermediate sellers.
CON: this deals only with eBay. I find selling on Amazon often to be the better choice. Also no mention of Overstock nor Yahoo.
