On the down side I felt that the book toed the Ebay company line to an uncomfortable extent. Wilson repeatedly says what a great payment mechanism Paypal is without giving any serious mention to either its competitors or its shortcomings for example. Personally I would have preferred a more objective approach. I also felt that the book lacked detail in a number of areas. If your idea of "making money" is earning a few pounds from sales of the junk you have sitting around the house then this book might be all you need. If your ambitions stretch further, towards a part or full time business for example, you need a more comprehensive book. You won't find any details on dealing with a wholesaler, writing a business plan or dealing with tax issues here for example.
It inroduces the reader not only to the mechanics of how to use the eBay website, but also to the eBay ethos and attitude to internet selling (unsurprisingly given that the author is eBay UK Community Manager). In my not inconsiderable experience, taking the right attitude to selling on eBay when it comes to customer service and feedback is central to making money on eBay, and Dan Wilson is spot-on here as far as I am concerned.
There are plenty of seasoned eBayers out there who are hitting their heads up against a brick wall finding their stuff won't sell. READ THIS BOOK. It's as much for you as for beginners. Try some of his ideas out - let's face it, he knows more eBay millionaires than any of us is ever likely to.
The vast majority of it deals with things that you either know already of could work out for yourself. What makes it so good is the stuff that you didn't know. Read more
