Format:Paperback
Absolute..ly GREAT..

I have over the last year, bought several "How do I"? books. From subjects like finding out how FrontPage is really supposed to work to a much more recent "barge load" of "Doing eBay Auctions Profitably" or, some-such titles.
The fact is, you buy and read a book that's about three hundred pages long, only to find you end up reading loads about "someone stating the flaming obvious".
For those of you this has happened to and for those who buy these special books, covering subjects which you are so desperately wanting answers to. Reviews such as this one, can and indeed should be, useful and helpful. So, I ask that you forgive my flippancy at the beginning, I have been stung myself quite often.
I finished reading the Absolute Beginners Guide....... a couple of days ago. It was the forth, or fifth book I had purchased on the subject of eBay, or building an eBay business etc... Each one that I read, left something (actually many things--) wanting. It was like an itch that you can not scratch.

But finally.......
I do believe I will not need to buy another "How to build a business with eBay instruction book".
For once, all the subjects which you require to ACTUALLY launch a business, are covered. They are, listed and written down in a factual straight forward, yet in an easy to follow manner.
Its also true that the UK site, we are often unhappy about the books being SO American oriented. Well in this case, I would be surprised if you even notice. The book takes you literally through the journey of creating a business. It just happens to be an eBay business, but could just as well have been any other.
The depth of reference is excellent, the professionalism shines through too. It is not full of eBay isms, except when explaining what something actually means, that may be in itself an eBay word. (An eBay word?.... Did I just say that?)
Neither is the balance between what you need to know and what you are being shown distorted or confusing, in any way.

I think it is a great book. Its good for all those who have decided that they are going to try and "make a living from eBay" and its equally good for those who just need a revision, of some of the eBay basics of establishing and maintaining profits and running a business.

Its well priced and quite chunky for its 380 or so pages.
My suggestion is read the book through. Then use it as a manual.
If you jump about to begin with I think you could lose some of the progression from A to B to C....

You will not be disappointed with this one.

Have a nice Christmas,

PulpKult

Good for the beginner 19 Mar 2006
By M. S. Oliver - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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.
