Customer Reviews

No secrets revealed.
I was impressed by reading reviews on amazon for this book. Therefore, I decided to read it my self and did not find that many revealing information.
The book is a GENERAL overall review of ebay selling process.
Book literally have no special information. As example, it tells you that u should use (freely available) software when your sales increase, but do not mention what softwares, how to use them. Taxes section tells you to keep books, and not how to do it especially when u get loaded with fees and cost of goods sold and paypal fees, shipping cost.... etc calculations.
Nevertheless, book discuss very briefly sources of products and do not warn reader about potential problems when searching for source of goods to sell on ebay.
Overall, u may get some ideas about selling on ebay if you are beginner. But if you are seller with experience scan this book quickly or find better book.
Book though touches many aspects of ebay that may teach you something new.
Thank you and I apologize if my review was too long.

eBay's Secrets Revealed
eBay's Secrets Revealed
by Dan W. Blacharski

I laughed the first time a buyer sent me postage stamps for a payment. I returned the stamps and told them I accepted money orders or payment through pay pal. She did not laugh. She wrote a negative comment about the transaction and then filed a complaint against me. The litigation lasted for months and I was frustrated and confused. For several years I struggled with my site on eBay. I learned a few tricks on my own through trial and error.

Many powerful eBay sellers were reluctant to pass along any of their secrets. My site was floundering. I decided this enterprise was not for me. If only Dan W. Blacharski's book, `eBay's Secrets Revealed' was available to me way back then, my business would have been a success.

In the very first chapter Dan discusses name recognition. This is an extremely important concept in eBay auctions. Studies show that consumers feel comfortable with items and locations that are familiar.

Dan's information contains simple information regarding keywords that a first time seller may not even consider. The in depth chapter on accounting and taxes can literally save your business. Dan takes a step by step approach on how to succeed in your eBay business.

Make no mistakes eBay is a business and a livelihood for many individuals. Dan lets you know about security, customer service, fraud, payment methods and everything one needs to know to be a success in this burgeoning enterprise. Even the images you post reflects whether this item will be looked at and possible purchased.

Chapter 10 states the importance of positive feedback. This is not something you can shrug off. It can mean quitting your day job or failure. If terms like, second chance, reserve price, buy it now, absentee bid and insertion fee are foreign words to you, purchase this book.

This book can direct a novice, inform a buyer and lead an entrepreneur to success. The money invested in this book will ensure an easy and attainable transition in the art of selling on eBay. This information can also be applied to any other business project. After reading Dan's book, `eBay's Secrets Revealed' I feel confident to once again try my hand at selling and buying on eBay.

I give this book a rating of 5.
