Solid gold information from a Gold-level seller! Veteran eBay expert and author Skip McGrath presents a completely updated guide to the new, drastically altered site. Under its new management, eBay has instituted many important changes, and this revised edition addresses the company's modified fee structures, new (and controversial) feedback system, and more, while guiding sellers through the steps of starting, expanding, and automating a successful eBay business. McGrath offers tips on what's popular with eBay's buyers, as well as on drop shipping, controlling costs, managing inventory, writing headlines and descriptions that sell, launching your first auctions, and more. ?
The author speaks from experience when he writes about eBay and you can tell when you read his books. I have every one of Skip's books near my desk as a reference. The author also publishes a blog that continues to keep you updated. Book well worth the money and time to read if you are in a rush to get on eBay. The experienced eBay seller will want to skip thru the first couple chapters as they mainly are for the beginner. If you are a beginner... this is the book for you to excell.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. It is packed with all the information anyone needs to get started running an eBay business. Each chapter gets you more and more excited to get it up and going. My sister and I decided to start an eBay business together, and we have been following all the steps in this book. We especially like how Skip McGrath walks you thoroughly through each step. We just bought our first lot of products through a wholesaler and can't wait to put up our first auction on eBay. I highly recommend this book!

A Must for New EBay Sellers!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I'm Adam from Sell Center, a company that helps businesses enter online marketplaces and improve businesses' existing e-commerce operations. I was extremely impressed by how this book gets you into the basics of real eBay selling, and can still teach the power moves that the pros like us use. As Skip goes through each section, he gives advice on how to set up your eBay operation, makes suggestions on what equipment and tools you will need, and points out some power moves that can help you exploit eBay's strenghts and not fall prey to its weaknesses. I was very surprised that Skip threw in many of the "trade secrets" that takes years of experience to realize, AND he made them easy enough to understand for a beginner. We plan on using this book to help train all of our new employees for our eBay operations. You should probably pick yourself up a copy if you want to compete!
Excellent Resource

This book is very detailed, and gives excellent resources for selling on eBay. Some of the eBay selling books I have read are very general and give little nitty gritty details. They are very generalized. This book, however, gets morein-depth than most and is a great, practical reference for getting started on eBay.
