eBay Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips and Tools, First Edition Review by Larry T. Slater
Looking Under eBay's Skirts
Ah eBay. Purveyor of treasures and reliever of junk. Is there a bigger garage sale in the world? I think not! But there are many ways to make it easier to make your "millions" on eBay then the old fashion way. (You still have to "earn it" however.)
Within this list of 100 tips and tools you will get an insider's look on how to become the most effective buyer or seller on eBay you can be. Being a novice myself, I learned more from this book than all the other eBay books combined. It cuts all the cutsie fluff and gets to the business end of the eBay: making you money.
An easy start is getting the eBay Toolbar. You should already be using the Google Toolbar so you know how much easier the eBay Toolbar can make your buying and selling. But for me selling was my main focus in eBay Hacks and I was not disappointed. I found how to automate sending my payment instructions using built-in PayPal service that I didn't even know existed. The then there was the prepaid mailing slips that will save me hours of time in line at the Post Office. But wait, I found out that I could generate these prepaid shipping labels from my PayPal account also. What doesn't this marriage between PayPal and eBay NOT bring forth?
But the one that will probable make me the most money is using The Merchant and Editor Kits on eBay. On them I can create search boxes and category listing that I can host on my own web site and make going to my or other's auction a breeze; and I get paid for them doing so. Now how cool is that?
