Summary: This is Great Book for the Novice at eBay
Review: "Online Auctions at eBay, Bid with Confidence, Sell with Success" is a big book (in both meanings). Mr. Dennis L. Prince makes it enjoyable and easy to understand. This is the book with smooth writing style and a lot of the author's own experience. The book is really well written, with a valuable how-to-do it information, simplified explanations, and a good sense of humor. But, as I see, that would be a valuable reference mostly for beginners. If you are new to eBay, then this is a must-have. This book is for anyone who wants to become a casual eBay participant, both for buyers and sellers.This book is an excellent companion not for the eBay buyers and sellers only, but also for a thorough education about others online auction sites. After finishing this book I use obtained knowledge in my bids at other online auctions, for example, at the best Russian online auction Molotok.ru. And now I know some people in Moscow who are making business through online auctions. But I think people can figure it out without the use of any book.

Summary: Great for beginners, but lacks material for seasoned eBayers
Review: First off, this book is very well written. He has accomplished the difficult; making a computer book that's enjoyable to read. If I were new to eBay or to the online auction arena, I can see where this would help me. Dennis explains the entire process from A to Z. Now for the downside. I sell daily at eBay, and I was hoping to gain a little more in depth information, ie. best times to post, credit cards, taxes, listing strategies, handling deadbeat bidders, etc. Based on the earlier reviews, this book was supposed to be beneficial to even the most advanced of eBay users. I did not find that to be the case. All in all the book was worth the money. If you are new to eBay, then this is a MUST HAVE. I will hand it off to my father, as he is new to eBay and this should be right up his alley.

Summary: A must-read for any Ebay-sian wanna-be!
Review: I had been on Ebay for a few months when I read this book, and I have a feedback rating of 36. Some people said that this book is only for the people who are very new at Ebay. I disagree! Dennis Prince does an OUTSTANDING job of explaining Ebay to people at all different places on the learning curve. The book is entertaining, captivating, and so very informative! His humorous style makes it a real pleasure to read. I knew a fair amount of what Dennis has to say in the book, but I learned quite a bit too. He covers MANY different situations and tells them how to handle them. He deals with etiquette the eBay way and you will feel comfortable hopping right into the eBay auction scene after reading this book! He covers bidding, selling (including how to research your item so you know what to charge for it), how to win if it's something you REALLY want to have, and much much more. He also covers in detail how to pack things safely and where to get materials, etc. Dennis also covers how to take pictures of your items and get them on your item listing page.

Summary: A rose that emerges amidst the dung pile of ebay books
Review: I have just recently finished this book. While 90% of this information can be gleaned from the ebay site itself for the patient learner; the remaining 10% was worth the price of admission. Three areas were very appreciated. The controversy of sniping, timing of auction listings, and more importantly the author's real examples of what I call the "rules of engagement" with the other party. All of these examples can only be shared by someone with quite a bit of experience. You will find in this well organized, exhaustive book that Mr Prince has passion for his subject matter which while can get a little wordy at times is appreciated none-the-less. Two months ago I discovered ebay. Once hooked my focus has been very specific. How can I run this part time as a business? Of the multiple resources I have aquired this work is the only one that attempts to answer my question. The only thing I felt it should have had was a reference cd in the back with all of the great "boilerplate" letters.

Summary: Very informative book!
Review: I recently bought Mr. Prince's book, ONLINE AUCTIONS AT EBAY. I am new to eBay and I needed help as to how to get started. I have received good advice and many hints and tips as to what I should and should not do as a buyer and seller on eBay. Thanks for this wonderful book!

Summary: This is not for the experienced eBay user
Review: I was hoping to find some tips and tricks that I could use on eBay that I didn't already know. Unfortunately, there were few of them. This is a well written book that would be a valuable reference for beginners. I would recommend it to them. Experienced eBay users will find very little new information here.

Summary: Great Help
Review: I was truly dissapointed in this book. As an Ebay seller with a feedback of over 400, I wanted to find a book that would help me increase my sales and give me some great ideas and resources. Not only was there no new information in there, it was information that anyone who did any research on their would have already found using the internet and Ebay itself. Out of all the reviews of all the books about Auctions out there, this one looked like the best for people who were already using Ebay. It's not. If you're 100% new to Ebay and you don't have time to do a lot of research on your own, it's a great reference. Otherwise, I'd suggest putting the money this book costs into your piggy bank.
