An outstanding book for those hobbyist (I wouldn't recommend this for folks who have never sold anything on eBay) eBayers that are considering setting up a formal business on eBay. It explains the mechanics of planning and initiating your business, using automation tools to improve productivity, selecting shipping vendors, setting up accounting/bookkeeping systems, dealing with taxes and much more. My only complaint is that the author does tend to focus on individuals that wish to create a full-time business, so you need to carefully evaluate how to best modify some of the advice if you are only looking to create some supplemental income. Definitely the best tactical/mechanical guide that I have read for creating and running an eBay business. Read it once to get an overview and then read it again as you walk through the steps. If I may make one suggestion: Do not use debt to finance your business. There is no guarantee of success - but this book will give you a great chance.

Very helpful and interesting. Some parts didn't apply to me, of course, since I'm not going to be a millionaire any time soon. I'll be happy just to keep the lights on and the water running. The analysis of various eBay sales strategies was very good. I like McGrath's tone, too- he's clearly flogging his product (which is Skip McGrath, natch), but it's in that old-timey rah-rah capitalist fashion that I can get behind.
