Editorial Review:

The power of online auctions is attracting hundreds of thousands--if not millions--of users who want to turn their eBay hobbies into profitable businesses. While turning an eBay hobby into an eBay business might look easy, making that business profitable is much more difficult. Not enough sellers treat their eBay sales as a business, and subsequently are disappointed in the results. To launch a successful and profitable eBay business, the detailed instructions in this book will show you how to get started. It will help you determine what kind of business you want to run, write an action-oriented business plan, establish an effective accounting system, set up a home office, obtain starting inventory, arrange initial funding, establish an eBay presence, and arrange for automated post-auction management. This book is a step-by-step guide for anyone serious about making money from their eBay sales. Unlike other computer-oriented titles, this is a straight-ahead business book that shows how to set up and run different types of eBay businesses, and how to maximize sales and profits while doing so. This book includes a section titled "Choosing Your eBay Business" that details six different types of eBay businesses you can start. Included in this section is a chapter on eBay Trading Assistants (AKA drop-off stores or consignment stores), which is the newest form of an eBay business.

What a wonderful starter guide for ANY entrepreneur that wants to start a service business! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.


This is a really good book for someone who is interested in starting a service business. I can't praise it enough in the few paragraphs I'm writing in this review. Regardless of whether or not you want to start an eBay Trading Assistant business, but you KNOW you want to start SOME small business selling your services, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book and read it and study it. Much of what is covered between its covers applies equally to just about any start-up. And the author does a wonderful job spoon-feeding us the material.

My background is NOT in retailing. And eBay is one big online retail store. So I'm not going to say how good or bad it is to get involved with retailing. And if you become a Trading Assistant, then you are getting involved in retailing even though the main thrust of your small business will be simply providing a service.

I will say that I haven't been convinced that becoming an eBay Trading Assistant is something I would want to become or that I would recommend to my SCORE clients to consider becoming one. What I do recommend is that any owner of a retail store should consider having someone on the payroll who can do what an eBay trading assistant does. And by reading this book you will get a pretty good understanding of what a trading assistant does.

Although I liked ALL 23 chapters, my favorite chapters were 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14-17, 22, and 23. These I consider to be the universal topics regarding how to start a service business.

Last Fall I had to help put on a SCORE seminar about selling on eBay. I read a few books on the subject (including this one), got a couple of magazines on the subject, and scoured the Net for articles on eBay. I also signed up to use eBay and studied the eBay site. What I learned in preparing for the seminar was that eBay is always changing. I doubt the instant book is still up-to-date since it was written a couple of years ago. But the basics covered in this book are definitely current and well worth your time to read if you are thinking about becoming a trading assistant. 5 stars!

Editorial Review:

eBay Trading Assistants are experienced eBay sellers who indicate their willingness to sell your items for you, for a fee.  It’s a great service for people who want to sell items on eBay, but lack the time or know-how to do it themselves.  eBay Entrepeneur will guide would-be eBay Trading Assistants in setting up successful eBay Trading Assistant businesses. 
 
Topics include:
-Planning, starting & executing a profitable Trading Assistant business
-Finding the best clients
-Low-cost marketing programs
-Unlocking unlimited free publicity
-Avoiding technology pitfalls
-Streamlining day-to-day operations
-Profiles and case studies of the most profitable home-based success stories

Proven strategies and the latest selling tips from eBay's most elite merchants

Author Amy Joyner reveals the fifty top lessons for profitably selling almost anything on eBay, from how to select the best mix of merchandise, ship goods, and keep customers happy to working with wholesalers, making the leap from part-time to full-time selling, and looking like a million-dollar business even if you're working from your kitchen table.

Editorial Review:

Every eBayer knows that setting prices and deciding how to much to bid is a delicate art. While there are many guides to pricing for specific collectibles and the like, this is the first reference to help you determine how much to bid or how much to pay on eBay for a wide array of items.

The eBay Price Guide is filled with exhaustive lists of selling prices for items ranging from rare books and sports memorabilia to computer parts and video games, covering nearly every eBay niche and the most popular subcategories. Introductions to each category offer helpful tips and advice that you'll find invaluable on their own. But not only that, the version of the DeepAnalysis software included on the CD-ROM will have you sifting through even more pricing data from a vast amount of eBay auctions so that you can better evaluate the eBay market, predict how various items will sell, and find out where the deals are. You'll learn that you can sell Abbot & Costello's Frankenstein on 16 mm film or a hospital bottle from the Civil War for just over $700, but for about a buck you can get an amber glass medicine jar or The Bride of Frankenstein on 8 mm film.

If you're an eBay seller, The eBay Price Guide will help you to anticipate how much an item will sell for. If you're a buyer, you be able to see at a glance which categories tend to be overpriced, where to find the best bargains, and how to bid so that you're more likely to get what you want.

Whether you're selling cell phones, a pair of used Levi's, or grandma's ancient (and dusty) vase, you'll find this book and software kit indispensable in your quest to set or get the right price on eBay.

The companion CD contains a demo version of HammerTap's DeepAnalysis auction research software, which sorts through licensed eBay data and statistics for all eBay market sectors to reveal market trends so sellers can develop strategies for success. The CD also includes The eBay Appetizer, an eBooklet that describes how to get started on eBay, as well as The Seller's Guide and The Auction Accelerator, with lessons from a seasoned Internet business coach. Users will receive 20 percent off their first three months' subscription to DeepAnalysis as well.

Defectuve Book 1 out of 5 stars.
17 of 31 people found this review helpful.

The Index in the back of this book is incorrect. The author and publisher are aware of this...I contacted each and they confirmed this. Thus this book is worthless for anyone who wants to look things up....it should be taken off the market and corrected.

Good for the beginner 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

If you are trying to decide or have made that big decision to start an eBay business, check out this title. It's not wordy but gives good guidance. As well as the usual Table of Contents and Index (which are well done), there is an initial page that gives you Contents at a Glance. This is a nice and unusual touch that keeps you from any unnecessary searches because the Table of Contents is lengthy. Also, contained in the Introduction are adequate and easy to understand instructions on use. Be sure to read this before jumping ahead and you will be very pleased with your purchase. You will become an A++ seller.
