eBay Powerseller Secrets:Insider Tips from eBay's Most Successful Sellers
As a certified eBay instructor, I have read just about every eBay book that has ever been published and this is one of my all-time Faves! Brad and Debra Schepp never fail to deliver and this book is no exception and a must-have for your eBay library.

eBay Powerseller Secrets:Insider Tips from eBay's Most Successful Sellers is very insightful when it comes to eBay selling and I cannot wait to implement all the new tips and tricks that I learned.

As always, I look forward to the Schepp's next publication with much anticipation.

Advanced tips in easy to understand language!
If you ever wondered, "What do all those professional eBayers and PowerSellers know that I don't?" this book provides the answers.

It is packed with tips and strategies that a newbie can use or even a more seasoned eBayer as well. What I like best are the interviews and tips from real PowerSellers. It is not theory, but great tips from experienced sellers.

Thanks Brad and Debra!

On your way to millions
I'd like to compliment the authors on this book. I have read it fully and constantly use it a resource. For quite some time, I've been meaning to write a review on it!

Even as a person who makes a successful living selling on the Internet (yes I'm a top power seller and eBay business consultant), I find this book to still be of great importance. That's right, even us top sellers can learn from this book. In some ways, it confirms what I have already been doing. In other ways, it opened my eyes up to new techniques-even some that I quickly recognized my competitors use. I can only imagine what new eBay sellers can do after reading this book! If I had this book years ago, I know I would have saved a ton of time and money.

Reading the post below, I think that the author of the post is the type of person that established he knew more than the book before he read it. He was hoping that the book gave him some magical formula or idea. I have seen over and over again these businesses who are so used to doing business a certain way, that they close themselves out to new methods. Just take a look at the music industry if you want to see this!

An example the post author used was the fact that the book covers only "16 pages discussing shipping." When I consult to eBay business clients, I could probably nail down shipping to a few paragraphs...and one of my businesses is shipping over 500+ items a day! I'd say 16 pages is great...especially for those who require basic understanding and a variety of options. Any more writing than what the authors of this book included would be described to me as "fluff." Effective writing is all about being concise.

Did the post take into account that this book also was written before advancements in this field? I'm pretty sure there is a new book coming out soon and I have a feeling it will touch on a host of new issues and additions to other ones.

When I read a book, I find it extremely successful when I learn even just one new thing. It's rare that I find a book like this and learn a host of new things. I hope that others read this with a highlighter and pencil. Use this as a way to save a ton of money on experimentation. Decide what you want to do with your business and set goals. Research what makes sense to you and is best for your business model. Use this book as a way to jump-start your desire to make more money selling on eBay. I can promise you will learn at least a few things that will make this purchase worth thousands!
