1.0 out of 5 stars No Secrets Here... A lightweight adequate read., 3 April 2006

By	G. Davies (Weatherford TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hmm <i>Titanium PowerSeller Secrets for Building a Big Online Business</i> Well, it's not quite mistitled I suppose.

To be fair on the author, this book is an adequate, and mildly entertaining' rainy Sunday' read. She writes in a chatty, easy going style that is not hugely irritating.

The interviews with 'titanium powersellers' are not particularly illuminating from a business perspective, but are entertaining nonetheless. It's rather unfortunate that one of the 'Titanium Powersellers' has gone rather spectacularly out of business very recently - but I guess that's a hazard of this type of book (and of being in business!)

My main issue with this book, as with so many of this genre, is that it's overhyped, doesn't deliver, and has no real substance.

Sorry, but that's how it is. Loads of padding, no 'secrets' at all and delivered in a 'local journalist column' writing style.

The author gets thoroughly excited when a tablecloth she's listed sells for more than she paid using a 'titanium powerseller secret' of.... <b>list for $1 n/r?!</b> I'm not entirely sure that that is the quality of PS secrets required to write a useful book...

If you haven't already worked out the 'secrets' contained in this book, then I'd say your chances of 'building a big online business' are not high :-D

Ok for lightweight reading. Adequate if you've never sold anything on eBay before, and need a few pointers. But if you're looking for 'secrets' - save your money and do your own research on the site. I'm a fulltime eBay seller and there was nothing here for me, despite the tag line and hype.

My personal recommendations are Dan Wilson's book for 'basics' and Scott Wingo's book for a strategic approach. Oh, and read the help pages on the site!

Perhaps I should write a book myself :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars Lacks any substance, 19 May 2006

By	A. M. Smith "Andy" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an okay read to pass the time, but really falls flat on its face if you are expecting it to live up to its title and the hype surrounding it.
Given that the author had access to 25 of the worlds most successful ebay traders, this book could have been something really exceptional. The 150 or so pages are printed in such a large font and with huge margins, their really is only about 75 pages worth of text, and of that most of those are lack lustre.
The questions asked by the author, are the same as those you would expect from a blue peter reported. Each chapter is meant to review the business model of a highly successful and motivated business person/company, who happens to ply their trade on ebay. But what you end up with is a chapter that examines a particular aspect of ebay trading, such as delivery, and even this is written for simpletons - "ensure delivery is speedy"!!!! You hardly need a top 25 ebayer to tell you that!
Infact, the chapter detailing the biggest trader on ebay to date - with over 1 million feedback, is purely nothing but a chapter on how to maintain positive feedback. We could have learnt so much more. This book needs to be re-written and in far greater depth, and preferably by some one else.
I was hoping to read 25 small, but neverless detailed, company biographies with all aspects from the initial idea, through to staffing issues, shipping practices, marketing stratergies, financing, cash flow problems and solutions, highlights, low lights etc... but all I got was the result of 25 interviews in which the interviewer had nothing more than a friendly chat over coffee with the interviewee.
Avoid if your looking for anything other than a something to keep you entertained on a lazy afternoon.

1.0 out of 5 stars As bad as it gets. . ., 7 Feb 2009

By	Usherette (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews

You can pretty much assess the worth of this book from its opening page, where the author says that eBay users are "affectionately known as eBayers".

Yeah. Right. eBay Inc is stuffed full of "affection".

The product of an obscure former news reporter published by an equally obscure New Jersey publishing house, this witless tarradiddle is merely another tedious outing in an entire sub-genre devoted to "revealing the secrets" of eBay.

But there are no secrets. There never were.

To do big business on eBay means being in big business, with plenty of capital, time and resource to hand. It means knowing your subject, your stock suppliers and your fulfilment logistics. It means earning enough per month in commission for eBay that it accords you the ludicrous title of 'PowerSeller', as if you're plugged into the National Grid.

And once you're duly plugged in as a "respected and rewarded member of the eBay Community" -- yes, eBay's marketing department is indeed run by people who believe in Mickey Mouse, and very possibly go to work dressed as him -- you'll actually get eBay's telephone number and an eBay account manager, both of which exist to ease your way towards making yet more money for yourself. . . and eBay.

Don't expect any "secrets", "insights" or even semi-valuable "information" from books such as this -- and especially not if you're in the UK or Europe: this one is Americocentric, and though it might've been redeemed by an author of greater skill with hard fact rather than banal generalising, no such luck.

As to the book's true value, have a look at what it fetches secondhand: were it as insightful and as indispensable as it pretends to be, there wouldn't be any secondhand market at all because having finally grasped the "secrets of eBay" the reader would never, ever, wish to share them with anyone else.

Pity about Amazon's star rating because this isn't even worth one.
