Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK !!!!
EXCELLENT BOOK! CD ROM CONTAINS EDITING SOFTWARE (ON A 30 DAY TRIAL BASIS) THAT'S VERY USEFUL FOR YOUR PICTURES, VERY EASY TO USE. GREAT IDEAS & TIPS FOR LISTING & SHIPPING. ALSO CONTAINS RESOURCES FOR WHERE TO BUY MERCHANDISE TO SELL ON EBAY & PRODUCTS TO BUY TO HELP YOU WITH SHIPPING. THIS BOOK WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SKILLS YOU NEED TO SEPARATE YOU FROM OTHER EBAY SELLERS & HOPEFULLY TURN YOU INTO A POWER SELLER. I WISH I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS BOOK BEFORE I STARTED SELLING ON EBAY, I WOULD HAVE SAVED TIME & MONEY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!

Do Not Order from THERMITE MEDIA
This is not a review for the book. I advise all NOT TO PURCHASE from THERMITE MEDIA! Their customer service is less than acceptable, it took a long time to get an answer from a real person as they are completely automated. I still have not received my purchase. I have lost money and never received my order. DO NOT BUY FROM THERMITE MEDIA!!

Very good
The book is just what I needed. It was a new book with the CD enclosed and had never been used so far as I could tell. Thanks for your service. I'll be back again. I recommend this book for new E-bayers and I recommend Amazon as the place to find your book, no matter what the title may be.
