This book seems to have all that is needed to help start up an eBay business - or sell better for those of us who don't actually need or want to run our own eBay business. Very clearly set out. Good value.

Good eBay Guide 1 Aug 2011
By PCMarv - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Have made a quick scan of the book and have read a couple of chapters of immediate interest. It answered all of my questions about eBay so far.
I also purchased the "eBay Business All-In-One for Dummies" (the 9 books in 1 edition) at the same time. The All-In-One had basically the same information (and more) as the "Starting an eBay Business" book. If you are looking for an overall eBay book I would go with the All-In-One book.

Great Learning and Reference Book 20 May 2011
By T. L. Rakes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Marsha's 4th Edition Starting An eBay Business For Dummies is very well written and easy to understand. I started my day reading some of the book, practice what I had learned on eBay, then end the night by reading some more. Since getting this book my income from eBay has started picking up. I now have more confidence in what I do with eBay. Many thanks Marsha!!
