I was a beginner to eBay business, and I found this book extremely helpful. It provided a lot of detailed information and website resources, such as for transportation couriers, wholesales, eBay fees, etc.
The only problem I had with reading this book, or most of the how-to books about ebay selling, was that the eBay rules changed so quickly that these books could hardly follow the latest updates. So make sure that for the information that is changing quickly, such as how ebay fees count, you don't want to rely solely on the book but check the eBay websites for updates.

Pretty good book and love the format. It has lists at the end of each chapter of things you should do as well as very detailed instructions in each chapter. The only issue is this book is best for people who are wanting to start an eBay BUSINESS, not someone who is wanting to just personally sell odd and ends they have or come upon.

Some of it will be outdated now. I should have paid closer attention to this book and maybe I would not have been ripped off by a fraudulant customer working paypal loopholes.
