Absolute Beginner's Guide To Ebay

by Michael Miller

On any given day there are more than 28 million items listed for auction at eBay, the world's largest online trading community. Almost $34 billion worth of merchandise, in more than 1.4 billion individual auctions, was traded over eBay during the year 2004; that's $93 million a day, or more than $1,000 every second. At the end of 2004, eBay had more than 135 million registered users - more than double the number of users just two years previous. The first two editions of this book were best-sellers, so it's only natural we would update this great book to reflect some of eBay's most recent upgrades such eBay Stores, Half.com, and Trading Assistants.

Whether you are new to eBay or just looking to sharpen up your skills, Absolute Beginner’s Guide to eBay is a pretty good bet. This book includes full instructions on how to set up an eBay account and getting started buying or selling merchandise. It also explains special features such as product reviews, eBay stores, Half.com, and eBay Express.

I’ve been using eBay for a few years now but I still learned a few new tricks from this guide. To me, the most useful portions of the book were the sections that gave tips on searching eBay and bid strategies. I also learned the ins and outs of Dutch Auctions, selling more than one item at a time.

I like "The Absolute Minimum" feature at the end of each chapter.
