Customer Reviews

The bible for an ebay seller!!

I am an artist selling very high-end collectibles on ebay. It's very important that my presentation and approach are equal to the value of these items. I have read MANY books on ebay selling; Scot's book is light years ahead of any book that I have read! I'll keep it by me, always. And, yes, my results have been very satisfying.

Best Book for PowerSellers!

Having been an eBay Seller for over 5 years, and a PowerSeller for as long as they've had the program, I really appreciated FINALLY finding a book that could bring me to the next level. Tired of reading the same old re-hashed text on how to take a good eBay picture? Want to join the big boys on eBay? Then this book is for you.

A Reality Check for your business.

This book is not for the light hearted. It truly will tell you what you are doing right(and that wont be much) and what you do wrong. I had no idea where I was in my business until I read this book. Truly a slap in the face and a wakeup call. Ths is a must have book if you are serious about your eBay business. Worth 100x's the price and more. If you are looking for a candy coated Amway rah rah on how great your doing on eBay, this is not for you. After reading this book, I see exactly what we have done wrong for the last 2 years, and we see how far we have to go to be a "real business". This is like a full time business consultant on staff for less than the price of a decent lunch. Get it now..! Way to go Scot.

A jewel (mostly) for the eBay-centered entrepreneur

"eBay Strategies" is a book whose time has come. Scot Wingo, the author, is very successful in providing a strategic framework to build a solid eBay-centered business. Although it is not difficult to see how the book can translate into a promotional tool for the author's services in the long run (which I don't see a problem with, either), it does not come across as a "salespitch" book. This is a very logical and thought out book with thorough and insightful examples that anyone who's selling anything on eBay could find useful. However, it is mostly meant to help people with enough items being put for sale on eBay and entrepreneurs who base their sales operations on eBay. The only issue I had with the book was the sometimes excessive use of acronyms that keeps you going back to remember their meaning, but after a while, you get used to it (obviously too, after a while of applying his framework, it becomes second nature!) All in all, this is one of the best books on selling over eBay I've run into in a good while. As someone who has been selling (and buying) on eBay for over three years now, I highly recommend it, mostly for eBay-centered entrepreneurs: there was almost not a single chapter in it where I could not learn something.
