 Good -positive story September 6, 2008
It really developed enthusiasm for eBay. Added, it explained eBay and its' workings. Use it as a understanding tool but a text book format should also be purchased as a reference publicationi

 GREAT BOOK FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATES (ONLY)! August 5, 2008
How to Buy, Sell & Profit on eBay by eBay PowerSeller Adam Ginsberg is a great guide to starting a business on eBay and becoming a successful seller. Although it is slightly dated (published in 2005), Ginsberg's decision to provide more general information about eBay makes it useful even now. His conversational style makes it seem more like a story about his journey to becoming a PowerSeller than a "how-to" book. While this narrative format makes it an easy (and, at times, amusing) read, it also makes it slightly difficult to quickly look up information that one may need off hand. Tips on any given topic are generally spread throughout the book. For example, although chapter 11 is titled "Tips, Tricks, and Advanced Techniques," these are also found well before this chapter. For a beginner or an intermediate seller this book is highly useful, nonetheless. They will learn the ins and outs of eBay with ways to make it work for them and distinguish them from the other millions of sellers on eBay. Topics include thinking like an entrepreneur, what to sell, payment and shipping, titles and descriptions, tax benefits and more. He also talks about the all-important feedback score on eBay. However, it has slightly changed since this book was written as sellers can no longer leave buyers negative feedback. For up-to-date information on eBay's policies, sellers should consult eBay.com.
Even with the constant reiteration of the products and services his company offers for eBay, How to Buy, Sell & Profit on eBay is a useful tool to begin the journey to PowerSeller and home-based business ownership. Ginsberg even throws in a few tips for buyers. "I tell buyers to type in common misspellings of the item they're looking for, because if they do, in fact, find that item misspelled, they'll probably be the only ones who do. It's a great way to find bargains on eBay. (165)"
Adam Ginsberg gets Five Stars! July 25, 2008
I ate up every page of this cogent eBay guide. Get out your highlighter and get ready to learn from the master himself. Adam's book is a quick and easy read, and every word is worth it's weight in TITANIUM! His words inspired me to Platinum Powerseller status. (Too bad I quit eBay May 19, 2008 when eBay retroactively made neutrals count as negatives.) No doubt I can apply the same success and key learnings to start an Amazon business. Thank you Adam Ginsberg!

Fundamental, "Good Tips" book January 12, 2008
I think that this book provided some good tips and a basic general understanding of how ebay and the ebay community works. However, specifics are not present. For example,I would like to have read more information about international and domestic shipping and about drop shippers. It has the normal motivational spillage thats in all these type of books. It is a easy read.
