What to Sell on eBay and Where to Get it
I want to complain about the book Where to Sell on eBay and Where to Get it. I feel like i just got ripped off for $27.95 plus tax. the book does not give you any information about finding items to sell, and nothing about what to sell. The main point of the book is that you need a business to sell anything so you should get a business account on ebay and become a power seller so ebay can make more money. the 2 people who wrote the book work for ebay. The book is a complete waste of paper, and money.
Another $$ Black Hole
Don't bother, folks...it's another one of those "how to do it" books that offer a compendium of vague principles and "ideas" that you can find all over the web in free articles, a million other books (some of which you probably already own), with some plugs for the authors' sites thrown in. There's absolutely nothing more here.
(As an aside, one of the authors' sites violates several very basic and well-known marketing principles, so we might question her expertise, and it gives a "suite number" in the mailing address, which appears to be a mailbox rental place when you Google the street address. If so, "box number" would be a bit more straight-up, no?)
...and take the good reviews with a grain of salt. I suspect many were written by folks with an agenda of one kind or another. I don't find any agendas in the negative reviews, however, as none of them that I've read are selling an alternative. I wish they were!
Oh Thank you!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write these reviews, I was about to purchase ! Thanks for saving my money!!
Great Book
I was a power seller on ebay for a full year but then ebay became so commercial that it made it impossible for the little guy to make any kind of living. Now it's like an online retailer mall rather than a place for the home worker to make a living. But if you still want to give ebay a try then I would recommend this book. It's very straight forward on what it takes to find products to sell. Make no mistake, it does NOT tell you where to go to find things to sell, rather it tells you how to come up with your own ideas and how to research them. It teaches you how to find a niche and exploit it.
What to sell on Ebay and Where to get it.
Title is very misleading. Never a mention of particular products or sources to find them. A lot of good marketing info but, no specifics.
Sorry, but I cannot recommend this to anyone.
