I quit reading this. The entire eBay landscape has changed so much as to make this book almost entirely obsolete. Must be why I found it at Half-Price Books in the first place.
I found this book to be helpful. It had some good basic tips for selling on eBay. It gave me some ideas on where to find stuff to sell and some other tips I hadn't heard before online.
Meh. Starting an eBay Business for Dummies is typical of a lot of Dummie books. All of them, including this one have a tendency to really dumb things down. Hey, what was I expecting with the word 'Dummies' in the title? I was hopefully it would get a little bit deeper. About the only thing I really took away from this book was the section on Tax Returns and the idea that I will have to start book-keeping should my business take off. I'd say give this book a Rent if you want to look up specific questions your not sure about, otherwise, you can get most of the info that's in the book on YouTube.
