After reading this book, I learned a few tricks that, I’m sure, are not on the eBay approved list. The information on how to snipe is great, I’ve put that scenario into action and it works every time. The explanation of how to bid in the Dutch auctions helped me win several at a lower price than I would have paid in the past. There was also much information on ebay “ins and outs” that I never knew before. You can’t go wrong with this book.

I’ve been on ebay for a year or so and have sold and bought many items. I bought this book and learned superior ways around the ebay service. Actually, I haven’t lost an auction since I read the chapter on bidding. The book also helped me save money on shipping my items. Read this book whether you’re a beginner or really into ebay. It’ll fill in the blanks that you can’t find in other books.

I love the book it was so help full Chapter 12 helped me get my pictures on Ebay in a snap. I would recomend this book to any one just starting out on Ebay or any one that has used Ebay because you can always find out new and helpful things. Roland Woerner, Stephanie Becker, and Marsha Collier did a great job in putting it together with a since of hummor.

Ebay is great for buying things and I have been selling a few items. This book covers all the little details that are easy to forget. I find myself jumping around from chapter to chapter, looking up things I need to clarify. The answers are all there, and I keep the book next to my computer. I’m selling more on ebay now, and the tips I got from the book are helping me get higher prices for my items then I did before. Even though ebay is constantly changing – this edition is updated with all the new features.

I have always considered myself a fairly proficient eBay-er, but this book has helped me fine tune my habits. It may not be as helpful to more experienced user, but is definitely great for the beginner to intermediate user.
This book breaks down buying and selling point by point, everything from how to find exactly what you are looking for to a bidding practice called ‘sniping’ (which I use A LOT!). It also has lots of eBay’s rules and is incredibly easy to read. There is really not much more I can say about it than that.

This review refers to “ebay For Dummies” (4th Edition) by Marsha Collier….
I did alot of “window” shopping over at eBay, but never actually got up the nerve to bid, buy or sell over there. I felt real safe here at Amazon. I saw so many items over there that I was interested in(you name it..they got it!), but was just afraid of jumping in. Was it safe? Would I wind up with something I really didn’t want? How do you know when and what to bid? If your selling, how do you go about that? etc. etc…
This book answered ALL those questions and much, much more. Even this book itself was intimidating to me when it first arrived. There was sooo much ‘stuff’ in it. Did I have to know ALL that before i could hang out at eBay? So I just started glancing through it and realized what a treasure chest of info it was. Pretty soon I was reading it chapter by chapter just because I found it all so interesting.
“eBay for Dummies” covers it all. From the very basics…getting a feel for eBay, how to sign up,getting the “lay of the land”, getting info on the seller, and bidding, to putting items up for sale, completeing cyber paperwork, shipping and dealing with buyers and sellers.There are chapters on rules and a safety program, bidding stategies, and there’s even one on how to present the best pictures of your items if you are selling.
Yes..I was afraid..I was very afraid..but there’s no better feeling than going into something armed with knowledge, even if you are a newbie! And you don’t need to read it cover to cover to get started. It’s easy to look up and find answers to questions you have to get started, and it’ll always be there as a refrence as you go along and become more comfortable.You’ll be a biddin’ and a buyin’(and maybe even a sellin’)in no time at all. Be careful though..you may get hooked!
Thanks Marsha Collier for this great fountain of new age shopping information for beginners. I’m not afraid anymore!

I have been selling and buying on eBay for a little while now and wanted to expand myself. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I covers practically everything. From starting up, to buying, to selling, to shipping, to feedback and more. It is eBay made simple! Very informative. There is so much useful (and also very basic) information in here. If you are wanting to start using eBay (or are not very experienced with it), I definately recommend this book.

Why grab up this newly updated and expanded fourth edition if you already have the last version? Because ebay is an ever-changing, dynamic, evolving, expanding website incorporating many new changes in recent years, and it’s essential for any successful online auctioneer to have the latest update to techniques. From bidding successfully and winning to selling successfully, collecting money and shipping, Ebay For Dummies assumes no prior ebay experience and provides all the details necessary to succeed.

This is not a book for hard-core eBay users, but if you’re just getting started, it is absolutely the best (even if you’re not a “dummy”). You don’t need anything more than this quick-reading, but sufficiently detailed, introduction to the site. The author writes clearly and simply, and manages to work in a lot of humor. All the basics are covered here.
Why go anywhere else? This is the book I recommend to all my friends.

There are two real reasons for buying this book.
One is that here is everything you need to know is contained in one, organized book. There is really little that you can learn here that you can’t learn on the e-Bay web pages. But there are 386 pages in this book. Looking at that may pages on the web is a real pain, and you will never know if you didn’t miss something important.
Two this book has material (especially comments) on subjects that are covered, shall we say, differently on the web pages. Some such subjects: Sniping (entering your bid at the final instant of a bid), searching using mispellings, astronomical shipping costs, and much more.
One problem with books like this one is that the rules on e-Bay change so often and so fast that keeping up with them is a task. This book with ISBN 0470045299 is the Fifth Edition published on October 30, 2006. Be careful if looking and used copies that you aren’t getting an earlier, and obsolete edition.
