ebay For Seniors For Dummies

This is the second of Ms. Collier's books I have read and this did not disappoint. While I have purchased stuff on eBay from time to time, I am far from being eBay-fluent. This guide helped me understand some of the details behind things about which I had wondered (mostly eBay backroom stuff). Armed with this book, I expect to recognize trends and be a more efficient purchaser; however, the main reason I liked the guide is I am about to start selling some unwanted but "very valuable" items -- sticking my toe in the seller side if you will. This guide will certainly help me with that.As Marsha says several time, eBay is constantly changing screens and formats but the basics don't change much -- I tried to find several of the screens included as screen shots in the book and they were no longer relevant. Other than small things like that, the book is great if you understand that it is a BASIC guide. I skimmed about half the book and read the other half thoroughly. But if you need the very basic help ("what you need to get started", Defn of ISP, etc) it is here and described clearly and concisely. The reason for four stars is the number of outdated screen shots and I would have liked a little more info on intricacies of Paypal and other payment methods. Got a good intro but I wanted a bit more. Other than that it was well worth the price for me.

Probably good for new users of eBay. I thought I might pick up some good pointers but since I have been on eBay for 21 years it was no help.I will get eBay book "eBay for 2020" and hope this gives me some finer points using eBay.

I am a nubie to selling on EBay and found this book of great value. I was able to set up a PayPal acct and upload pictures of items to sell. Well worth the money all around.

Not impressed with detailed instructions for a Senior just beginning to sell from personal collections. Too geared towards “big selling” & EBay “store”.

This book was exactly what I needed to learn more about Ebay. I have been participating on EBay for 2 years now, learning on my own. I feel much more informed with this book, and it is written in easy to understand style. I recommend this book for all adults, not just seniors (older people), for both buying and selling interests. It is a winner!

Nice big print for old eyes!

Upset that this is so out of date

Wanting to start an eBay business, I found myself coming back time and again to the easy to follow guidance put together by Marsha Collier.

All OK

a excellent book for us oldies who want to have a go at learning everything there is to know about eBay.
