Ebay Business /wrong book
Bought wrong book, thought this was the very 1st starter book for how to get started with selling on Ebay. A little too adavnced for the true beginner.
Trying to be positive, the best thing about this book is the exposure to some useful areas of concern and companies that I didn’t know existed to serve eBay sellers (such as auction management sites and software, as well as the names of several payment service vendors). That, and the occasional nugget of useful information.
When I bought this book, I thought that Marsha Collier was going to reveal some powerful secrets behind eBay business success. Instead what I found was a high level overview of the various aspects of starting a business and of the eBay site. Even though she states upfront that the book is for people who already are familiar with eBay, at least 50% of the book details eBay services and options — nothing that you can’t easily discover from eBay online help for free. Why didn’t she just recommend her other book, “eBay for Dummies” for that stuff! Also, several of the “Tips” that she gave online were pretty much common sense. Coming from a marketing background, I had hoped that she would apply some serious marketing strategies to selling online and share useful marketing statistics. I guess that was asking too much from a book geared for “dummies.” Even worse, I felt that Marsha was often trying to sell her secrets and promote her own website rather than really help readers. An example is the “Ebay Sellers Lighting Kit” which Marsha will be happy to sell you (don’t waste your money — build it yourself)! This reader definitely got tired of the self-promotion and commercial feel of the book.

Never recieved it so how can I give a review???????
I never received this product. Please check your information again.
And since I never recieved it how can I possibly give a review.
As a novice ebay buyer,the “selling” bug bit me. It takes some of us longer then others,haha I knew I would need more info besides the tutorials supplied on ebay. So I did my research and bought this book and ebay for dummies before I started selling to get the full picture. Thank goodness! This book in particular is LOADED with great time and cost saving tips for a start up business. Her writing style and humor is very comforting along the ebay learning curve. ebay is an overwhelming but vastly entertaining animal. She has done her homework, is brutally honest and frankly, gives you the “real deal”. Hats off to Marsha!!Great job to a savvy business lady!

What a Great Book!
This book by Marsh Collier is as about as good as it gets. It is easy to understand. Though the book was written a few years ago, all of the information is still relevant.
