Summary: Good Ideas!
Review: Starting an eBay Business for Dummies by Marsha Collier is a book that offers the readers a lot of good ideas...Some I agree with while others I do not. Even so, buy the book and see what you "THE DUMMY" can get out of it! (Maybe the idea of someone (anyone) calling someone a DUMMY is what bugged me the most about this book, I freely admit I don't know, but like I said that aside BUY THE BOOK it does offer a lot of good ideas.

Summary: Exactly what I was looking for!
Review: This book gave me all the inspiration and information I needed to get my ebay business going. I was selling a little here and a little there on ebay, but now I have an ongoing side business. This book taught me a lot about the way to run my business in a legal, legitimate and professional manner, I'm so glad I read this book. I don't know what a couple of the other reviewers have read, but I think this book is tops and recommend it to everyone who wants to start an extra income on ebay.

Summary: Not helpfull
Review: This book have some general information about doing buisness on ebay, but it's far away from guiding the beginners and make their start at ebay easier. I didn't find most of the information I needed :(

Summary: Disappointment, but a must have
Review: This book is a must have, but I had expected more. The author gives you a lot of needed advice about shipping, organization, and finding a product. However, if you are looking to find out at what point you go from a hobby seller to one that needs a business lisence, or at what extent your income is tracked by ebay you are out of luck. If you are looking to find success stories of other ebay sellers you are out of luck. In general the book refers you to other web-sites (many of which are very helpful), however many of them are no longer in existance (not the authors fault, just how things are). I recommend this book for a starter, but I suggest you keep your hopes low...I think I'll invest in one of the other ones and see if it is any better...

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This book is very vague...I thought that she would give somekind of paperwork/computer/method of organizing and keeping track of things, but she glosses over (in my opnion) the details that one needs to become a powerseller! You'll probably see my copy up for sale on ebay soon!

Summary: Man with a Mannequin
Review: This book is well written. I found it to be concise, divided into areas in an easy to follow manner.
Each chapter stands on its own which makes it easy to read in my favorite style... (All over the place).
She even covers the small details such as proper online picture resolution, including the best camera to buy.
I started with an idea "I want to sell ladies clothing online"
I changed from "A Man with an Idea" to "A Man with a Mannequin" in 3 just days. Thanks Marcia

Summary: Starting an eBay Business for Dummies - Marsha Collier
Review: This is a book that everyone that desires to sell on on-line auctions should read. Marsha is down to earth. I just attended eBay Live in Anaheim, CA & she conducted several seminars. I have also attended eBay University in Clearwater, FL where she spoke. She does not just tell you how to do the business, she successfully does the business and shares what she has learned over a long period of time! This book is a small investment that will pay off big time!

Summary: A must have for anyone starting an EBay business
Review: This is a great book. I have read several books on this subject and this is by far the best. I had been selling on EBay for a while and was looking to expand it to a part-time job and this book has helped me along the way. It gave me advice I didn't even think of. I give Marsha Collier an A+.
