Reviews

[Courtney Stirrat]

So, if you HAVE an eBay business, this is not so very helpful, with the exception of a nugget or two strewn about, because most of it you had to figure out to complete a sale. But if you were thinking, wouldn't it be great to sell my old law textbooks (and those of all my buddies) in my own law textbook business, this book would be extremely helpful.

I learned a bit about the eBay business. Some of it I had already figured out. The bits about running a business I will reread in time - I suppose.

good pointers- more useful for those starting larger business, but good opints to hobbiests.
