3 out of 5 stars High hopes weren't quite fulfilled.......2007-10-06

I had high hopes for this book. Great title, but it left me feeling a little disappointed. I learnt a few things, but it didn't represent any huge breakthroughs. My favorite part was chapter 4 which reviewed the pros and cons of the various listing tools and software.

5 out of 5 stars Easy and informative.......2007-09-11

If you are interested in becoming a more effective seller and a knowledgeable buyer this is a very informative book. Its simple format lends itself to quick reference or more in-depth discussions, depending on your level of inquiry. I've read a lot of ebay books and this is a great one to purchase! Check out my ebay profile at jjjs04. Good luck!

5 out of 5 stars Great tips of the trade!.......2007-01-18

Way to go!

This book gave me more information that I ever could have needed for starting up an Ebay business and I will continue to use it as a reference and guide for many of the troubling questions that arise in the cyber-business world.

The authors gave you more resources than you can imagine as well as detailing the benefits of becoming an Ebay Power Seller. It's amazing how much information they crammed between the pages and how amazingly detailed and forthcoming they were with the information. I was surprised to see the multiple lists for valuable online resources, and for those of us who learn best by seeing things in action-- they even have screen-shot pictures in the book with the corresponding URLs to the areas that can give you the most information.

As stated before, this book has a permanent place on my shelf as a reference guide to Ebay and beyond. Even if you're a current seller on Ebay, looking to upgrade your status to a Power Seller, give this book a shot. It could give you the extra boost you need for driving your business toward its goals and setting you on the right paths toward them.

Excellent and recommended tool for your Ebay business!

5 out of 5 stars A complete guide to profit on ebay.......2007-01-11

This book has so many cool tricks you can use on ebay, that its virtually impossible to fail and not make good money. Lerning from the many experiences of other sellers is essential for me, expecially when it comes to learn from their mistakes. Great guide.

5 out of 5 stars A Tremendous Resource.......2006-11-24

Not a cursory overview like many of the eBay books I have read, a well-conceived and thoughtful book for any eBay Entrepreneur!

5 out of 5 stars Start Cashing Monster Checks as an eBay PowerSeller!!.......2007-01-03

When it comes to growing a business on eBay, everybody has the same shot at making the big bucks, right? Wrong! For most eBay sellers, it's at best a hit-or-miss proposition. No matter what you think, the odds aren't with you--unless you have an edge. And this book gives you that edge!!

Yes, people out there are selling steadily and consistently on eBay. They're the mega sellers--and you'll meet them in this book. Nothing's more valuable than discovering the secrets, hints, and tricks from the ones who've "been there, done that" on eBay. These are the ones who've done their homework, developed the blueprints, and put their winning plan in action. Result: SALES SUCCESS. Angela's done all the legwork for you. Whether you're a new or experienced eBay seller, working part-time or full-time, if you're out to learn what you need to do to get that selling edge on eBay, you must have this book.

5 out of 5 stars The eBay Success Chronicles: Secrets and Techniques eBay PowerSellers Use Every Day to Make Millions by Angela C. Adams.......2006-12-29

I have been inspired by the book, The eBay Success Chronicles: Secrets and Techniques eBay PowerSellers Use Every Day to Make Millions, because this book provides insights on how to proceed with selling items on eBay and chronicles the success testimonies of others who have become Power Sellers in the business of e-trading and ecommerce.

The personal testimonies of those who have made eBay a profitable business venture encourages others of the possibilities for personal growth and development. Having listed on eBay with no success, I found this book to provide helpful hints and practical suggestions on how I too can become successful.

The do's and don'ts, proven skills and experiences of the Power Sellers enable the Readers to become better informed and also sparks ideas for setting up ones own eBay business. The author took great effort to not only interview top Sellers but to layout those interviews in a way that Readers could easily understand who they are, their contact information as well as their websites.

Web resources as well as graphical statistics through charts and graphs provide the Readers with additional resources to obtain further information on how to get started on eBay. The most intriguing part of this book was the final advice and words of wisdom from those who have made it on eBay.

5 out of 5 stars The eBay Success Chronicle: Secrets and Techniques eBay Powersellers Use Every Day to Make Millions .......2006-12-28

The eBay Success Chronicle: Secrets and Techniques eBay Powersellers Use Every Day to Make Millions by Angela C. Adams is the perfect book for anyone interested in becoming an eBay seller. The book provides practical information in a down-to-earth format, and it is neither sensationalized nor exaggerated. Tips are provided from successful eBay sellers who are making a living and loving it. Background information about eBay as well as the Powersellers make the dream of becoming an eBay entrepreneur seem truly feasible for anyone with the desire to make it happen. The format is arranged in a logical and simple manner that will make sense to readers of every level. You won't need to know any technical jargon to enjoy the full value of the book. This is a highly recommended text, with a 5 star rating.

5 out of 5 stars Probably my favorite eBay book! .......2006-12-27

Great for beginner and experienced. Covers the basics on how "IT" works, but then fills it in with rich insights from those proven successful. According to the cover, written by "eBay's #1 Rated U.S. Education Specialist". It certainly shows in her content. Beyond simply "how to", the inside scoop on the type of people who are succeeding, and in what way they have implemented eBay. Ton's of interviews and profiles packed with to-the-point insider secrets. Information on pages 138-143 was VERY helpful. Must also check out suggestions on 329.

1 out of 5 stars Was an ok book........2007-10-20

I read this book and hoped to find several new ideas but I was very disappointed. I could not find a lot of new information in the book. Certainly the price tag is too high too.

4 out of 5 stars Great addition, but take it with a grain of salt........2007-07-05

This is a great resource if you already sell on eBay, and are looking for a quick read. This book will NOT be helpful if you are just starting out on eBay, looking for product sources, or need a how-to manual of any sort. The author spoke with several Titanium Powersellers (the highest grossing sellers on eBay) about how they got started and what their business is like currently.

Personally, I thought the book was helpful for my own use. There were quite a few good ideas that helped us streamline our own business. We took an extra-hard look at sellers whose product line matched ours (small, light-weight commodity items) and tried to see if any of their ideas would benefit our business. There weren't any huge changes to our business, but the book helps us tweak our practice with small changes either taken directly from the stories, or inspired by the stores.

Here's the catch:
eBay is stagnating. Since the book was released, many of the Titanium Powersellers in the book have either closed down, moved off of eBay, or cut back drastically on their eBay listings. The successful sellers don't stay on just eBay, but diversify as much as possible, and the book doesn't mention cross-selling at all.


There isn't a whole lot of information in the book, but I do think it's worth the $15. But the true secret to becoming a top online seller? Start preparing to move away from eBay.

5 out of 5 stars Another great book to add to collection.......2007-06-14

Another great book to add to collection of reference material.

5 out of 5 stars Everything but the Sources..........2006-07-16

I purchased this book in hopes of understanding what I need to do in order to move from casual ebay seller to powerseller. I did find ways to increase efficiency and the names and websites for the companies that provide the software but I did not find how to join buying groups, which ones are best or anything else that gives me a "Turn Key" ebay business. I work on computers, build custom systems, and occasionally take a trade in. I found that there is a company that uses this as a business model and was able to get some limited ideas from this book. This is not the book that answers "Where do I get product at a price that will make a profit on ebay".

I am looking for the mother of all ebay books, something that gives me the sources to create a truly turn-key ebay store. I am buying all the ebay books I can find because I am dead set on becomming a power seller by September, 2006. This book has been a big help but it is not the holy grail.

3 out of 5 stars Not a How to Manual but interesting.......2006-06-09

Not sure what I expected. Ive never read much about doing business on eBay but thought it was time. Interesting stories. The format is to give you pointers by telling the stories of successful folks using eBay and the Author does that. I didnt find it terribly helpful for someone starting out and that maybe wasnt the intent but it was informative. I found that you had to dig a little for the secrets, maybe as it should be who knows? But an okay read, worth the price.

      3 out of 5 stars I'm not sure if it is current.......2007-01-18

      The author claims that if you start the bid at $.99 with no reserve, that no matter what the item is, that you'll get more for it than you thought you'd get for it.

      i don't know if that's true. I've seen many auctions on eBay where the seller got ripped off because only one person bid on an item, and the bid was for $.99.

      While years ago the author sold his Viper using the suggestions in his book and made a profit on it, I don't think that in today's market that would happen. Even with his suggestions, things don't work that way anymore, at least from what I've seen happening.

      It isn't a bad ebook. The suggestions are pretty good if you're auctioning stuff that isn't expensive and you could afford to lose money on. However, if it is something that really is valuable, you shouldn't necessarily count on selling it for what it is worth if you follow his suggestions.

      5 out of 5 stars What can I say...it works!.......2006-12-01

      The copyright on this may be 2004, but if you are just getting started selling on eBay this little gem is invaluable. I followed the advice, and with literally thousands of other products comparable to mine, I was one of the few who actually received bids and sold my items. I attribute everything to the sound principles in this ebook.
      It's fun to read, packed with good tips, and worth the price just for the sample email letters included! I encountered a "Troll" with my first auction, but thanks to this ebook I knew exactly what was happening and what to do.
      There may be other books that provide all the technical aspects, but this is the FIRST one you should read if you're a newbie.

      1 out of 5 stars This book is fine IF..........2006-04-29

      ...you're looking for good advice for selling a few items on eBay. It has very good advice for maximizing your bids, writing your ad, etc. However, if you're looking for something to guide you in starting an ongoing eBay business at a high level, this is not the choice to make. In addition, if you are already using eBay to run your "virtual garage sales", you're not going to find much here that you don't already know. So I suppose my 1 star rating is based as much on my expectations and goals as it is the book itself.

      4 out of 5 stars Suprisingly informative.......2006-04-24

      I've just finished this ebook and I am quite pleased. I've read a few books of this sort and they are usually just useless fluff, and none really answer the question of what to sell on ebay. This book does do that, and gives pros and cons of different ways to purchase products.

      There are a few issues with the book. Its a bit out of date, it was publised in 2004, so some of the information is no longer valid. Also the author doesnt seem to be above slightly shady practices, like misrepresentation(which someone else explained in a previous post), or padding shipping(which everyone clearly does, but still its a bit shady).

      I was able to get this from my library's electronic resources, but I would recommend buying it if you cant do that. Its targeted to fairly new ebayers who have sold a few items and have a feedback of atleast 5 but preferably 10, and are looking to start at least a part-time business.

      2 out of 5 stars Outdated and dangerous to your bottom line........2005-12-11

      This ebook describes the eBay of yesteryear. Today, when it comes to pricing your items, this ebook's mandate to start every auction at $.99 or less is a prescription for disaster. It's a buyers market on eBay and unless you know the demand for your item you may well be giving it away. That might be fine if you're just clearing out the closet but not if your buying merchandise to resell.

      There's some good basic info in here but nothing you couldn't find at eBay and its many forums for free.

      If your going to buy and resell product on eBay skip this book and read "eBay Strategies : 10 Proven Methods to Maximize Your eBay Business" buy Scott Wingo. It explains what sells and what doesn't sell well on eBay.
