Book Description
eBay is one of the true commercial success stories on the Internet. It has created a genuine global marketplace, which can be accessed by anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. eBay is an online auction site and it can be used as a hobby to clear out unwanted items or even as a full-time business. eBay in easy steps focuses on the UK version of the site and shows how anyone can become a successful and effective eBayer, operating in the UK and worldwide.

The book begins by showing what can be done on eBay and details the rules and regulations regarding the operation of the site. It then goes on to give an in-depth look at buying and selling items. This includes comprehensive bidding strategies for winning auctions and methods for listing items for sale to try and maximise profits.

Also covered is the vital issue of eBay feedback (the system whereby the users contribute to the regulation of the site), dealing with payment for items, setting up an eBay business and troubleshooting issues such as spotting potential frauds and dealing with awkward buyers and sellers.

Overall the book gives you the means to confidently enter the rapidly expanding world of eBay and become an active and productive participant in this exciting environment for buying and selling items. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
