This was a very helpful book, and made me think about the details when creating my listing and taking my pictures. It explains how to take clearer pictures and the important information to put in your listing. Most importantly, it tells you what things you should not do.
This book was good to help you with tips and better advice when doing listings on eBay. Some of the tips were just common knowledge tips but there were others that did help me to manage a better selling account on eBay. I liked it more for a reference book when needed. I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in listing items on eBay and learning more abut how to attract buyers.
The only reason I'm giving this book 3 stars out of five is because it's outdated...I bought a book, for doing business in 2015, not 2006. But this is My fault. Nowadays EBay has become so BIG, it does a lot for the Rookie. Nevertheless, the book gives you valuable advice on how to make your pictures more visible in the eyes of the buyer, among other great Tips on selling. I bought it "second hand" therefore, I had a huge discount, and that's my advice for future shoppers.
My wife has an ebay business and bought this for insights. This is cmoon sense, and there are enough free guides available that provide the same information.We returned the book promptly.
