 Good Primer... May 13, 2005
By Kindra K. Martinenko
"Technology Wiz"
Ginsberg's book is an excellent primer for those just now realizing something that is called eBay. The first 100 pages provided, for the most part, stories drawn from Ginsberg's own personal experiences on eBay, the trial and the error, etc. If you have been using eBay for buying and leisurely selling for six years as I have, you will find most of what he has to say as a good reminder of the days when there were no manuals to tell you what or what not to do. Back in the early days of eBay, you learned the hard way. This book ensures you won't have the learning curve that myself and Ginsberg had to battle through.
The final 200 pages are a bit better in getting into the details of what things to do right and what things to avoid doing. There were small pieces of information I did not know, which I found helpful. At times he would plug his own products, which is fine, I suppose, but I would have appreciated a little bit more beef in the advice he was giving.
If you have ten dollars to blow, this is a worthwhile investment. If you don't, you could find many of the hints and tips Adam provides in a newsletter online or on eBay itself.
And, if eBay University comes to your town, take advantage of it. You will learn a lot about how to operate a real business on eBay.
I recommend that graduates of Ginsberg's book move on to read Debra Schepp's eBay Powersellers Secrets book, which provides substantial information about how to find products to sell, etc.
My own advice is to take it slow. There is not a fast cash way to success on eBay. You have to do your homework and experiment before finally finding your niche. Be patient, study hard, and read books like Ginsberg's, and you will do just fine.

WORTHWHILE ADVICE May 06, 2005
By Tim Janson
Can YOU make a million dollars as Adam Ginsberg claims in this book? Well...probably not. I mean the key to an e-commerce business is having a good product. You're not going to make a million dollars on eBay by trying to sell your old Beanie Babies or Furbies, that's for sure. Ginsberg is an unabashed fan of ebay as he sells eBay as much as he sells his own book. Ginsberg gives a lot of fairly valuable information on starting up your own eBay business but it still all comes back to having a marketable product to sell which ultimately is the key to success. I've been selling on eBay since 1997 and have sold thousands of items but I've always considered it more of a past time than a business. Ginsberg provides some interesting ideas of setting up shop, however as well as providing tips on listing items, photography, taxes, etc. But if you're an experienced eBay seller you'll probably be aware of much of this. All in all I was fairly impressed with the book. I've read a lof of books on Ebay that were designed solely to sell books and not any useful information and Adam Ginsberg's book is one that stands out from the pack.

 Great Book to start your eBay selling!! Oct 22, 2005
By K. D. Kobayashi
This book is a great for getting started on eBay. It's easy to read and has great suggestions on how to list our items. I started selling some things I have around the house and making some money!! Nothing huge but this stuff is essencially free for me. It is surprizing what someone will pay for things. I just followed what he says in his book.
The downside of the book is that he promotes his own eBay listing products. He mentions that his isn't the only one out there... remember that. It's an infinite internet world out there and there are more people/companies offering the same thing. Just do your research.
He is honest and gives great suggestions. It's easy to read and inspiring. It's great for people who want to try selling on eBay but just didn't have the guts to try. This will get you going...
For those who are already selling on eBay... I think there are great suggestions and insight you can pick up from this book too.
Happy eBaying...

The Best Book on eBay EVER! Apr 16, 2006
By Charles Victor
"Small Business Owner"
As the CEO of a small 4 person start up, I was referred to this book by a friend (and avid eBay seller). Although I was highly skeptical, I purchased on the book Amazon and awaited for it to arrive. It arrived on a tuesday afternoon. The next day, read on the train to and from work. I was done by the time my train arrived home at the end of the day.
I am so glad I made the decision to take my friend's advice.
Adam Ginsberg spends the book using stories and analogies that are so easy to understand and relate to. He gives you examples of why you might be overwhelmed at first - and then outlines how to overcome any initial obstacles you might have.
This book contains 100% actionable, specific and flexible step-by-step processes for building a personal ebay success system. It isn't hard to do - I got mine up ang going in two days. I learned how to incorporate eBay into the success of my start up company and the results have been phenomenal.
With the help of my small staff, we're now making over $3,000 per week on eBay. I'm a better leader and my staff truly understands what they need to do on a daily basis for their success within our organization.
If you're reading this review because you're wondering if this book might be worth the time, let me encourage you to get it - regardless if you're new to eBay or a seasoned Powerseller...this is the best eBay book I have every read.
In case you're wondering, I purchased a copy for every one of my employees, and I will be insisting that new hires start their careers with my firm by first reading this book and setting up their own personal ebay user ID based on the teachings of this book. That's how good it is.

Don't miss out on your chance to finally start your eBay business. Get this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sep 11, 2005
By John Hayes
I have been buying from eBay for years and I have really enjoyed. I've never had a bad experience. I always wondered what it would be like to 'sell' as well. This book was recommended to me by a fantastic marketer called Bill Glazer. I have a lot of respect for him. Anyway I bought the book as Bill advised and it's really great. It gives fantastic advice on how to get started fast. It really would drive you to ACTION. A few days after reading it I sold my first product.Adam lay's out everything very clearly.
I followed Adam's advice and started selling things lying around the house and up in the attic. My son Neil 'tied' down his two fairly large fish tanks incase I sold them as well.;-)
I've now progressed to selling three products and the tests are proving very positive. This book will really get you fired up and you will be very enthusiastic after reading it. After reading the I really believe it is possible to start a business on eBay and make serious money. Adam also gives you great help besides the book. He has a serious website with tons of information on it. You get a load of free information when you buy the book.
Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
