How To Sell On Ebay
Selling on ebay
This is a German translation of The Pony Express which I’ve had since I was a kid, it has been in my library ever since, but I am about to sell up several hundred books out of my library because I have not touched many of them in the last fifteen years except to pack them for moving, and I would rather have money for things that I need.
It’s a bit of a wrench, (almost like losing a part of myself for some of these,) – but what would I do with them if I no longer need to read them? They are taking up three bookshelves and several boxes, and will be of more use in collections or read by people who may not have seen many of them before.
Yes I love books but there comes a moment when you realise something – the first books were extremely potent tools for the mind because there were only GOOD books, no-one could afford to print crap. The modern printing house produces a lot more range now, and books as a tool have become diluted, I feel.
So I’ve put Pony Express up on Ebay, and if that is encouraging I’ll put up a few others, and see how I go.

How to sell on ebay
And that's why if you go on eBay you will find my three little word, my precious little “Get Life On” up for sale or license for a mere $ 50000. I think the price is exceedingly reasonable considering someone is trying to sell the trademark “Euro Gold …

Aaaww…I know what it feels like. It’s just like when my mum gave away my extensive stamp collection because it was collecting dust…I really wish she didnt do that because I had become quite attached to it. I even had stamps from pretty exotic countries…Yup, it was just like losing a part of myself ^^;
One person has to do what she has got to do.It’s perfectly understandable this loss feeling,I feel the same way when I give a book away,even if it is untouched for years.At the same time I think that if I could keep all the things dear to me through my life I would need an entire block of houses to storage them.I totally agree with you about books today,they print anything that has a potential to sell,no matter the quality.:(
I Was Afraid…I Was Very Afraid!….,
This review refers to “ebay For Dummies” (4th Edition) by Marsha Collier….
I did alot of “window” shopping over at eBay, but never actually got up the nerve to bid, buy or sell over there. I felt real safe here at Amazon. I saw so many items over there that I was interested in(you name it..they got it!), but was just afraid of jumping in. Was it safe? Would I wind up with something I really didn’t want? How do you know when and what to bid? If your selling, how do you go about that? etc. etc…
This book answered ALL those questions and much, much more. Even this book itself was intimidating to me when it first arrived. There was sooo much ‘stuff’ in it. Did I have to know ALL that before i could hang out at eBay? So I just started glancing through it and realized what a treasure chest of info it was. Pretty soon I was reading it chapter by chapter just because I found it all so interesting.
“eBay for Dummies” covers it all. From the very basics…getting a feel for eBay, how to sign up,getting the “lay of the land”, getting info on the seller, and bidding, to putting items up for sale, completeing cyber paperwork, shipping and dealing with buyers and sellers.There are chapters on rules and a safety program, bidding stategies, and there’s even one on how to present the best pictures of your items if you are selling.
Yes..I was afraid..I was very afraid..but there’s no better feeling than going into something armed with knowledge, even if you are a newbie! And you don’t need to read it cover to cover to get started. It’s easy to look up and find answers to questions you have to get started, and it’ll always be there as a refrence as you go along and become more comfortable.You’ll be a biddin’ and a buyin’(and maybe even a sellin’)in no time at all. Be careful though..you may get hooked!
Thanks Marsha Collier for this great fountain of new age shopping information for beginners. I’m not afraid anymore!

|I’m not a dummy, but it still helped!,
I have always considered myself a fairly proficient eBay-er, but this book has helped me fine tune my habits. It may not be as helpful to more experienced user, but is definitely great for the beginner to intermediate user.
This book breaks down buying and selling point by point, everything from how to find exactly what you are looking for to a bidding practice called ‘sniping’ (which I use A LOT!). It also has lots of eBay’s rules and is incredibly easy to read. There is really not much more I can say about it than that.
