The best book for powersellers & advanced users
It simply means that this is a book that ANY eBay user will be able to appreciate, even powersellers who assume there's nothing they can learn from a guide. The title of my review is not meant to suggest that this book won't work for beginners.

As a platinum powerseller, let me tell you: this is a great book. It's not going to be all new information to you, but I guarantee you'll find some gems of wisdom here that you can put to use.

What have you go to lose?.

Promises Less - Delivers More. Top Rated Book for Power Sellers
The book simply commits from its title that it will tell you a set of proven methods that will help your eBay business do better. In a time when there are hundreds of books with hyped up titles this book is an exception. In reality it delivers much more.

1. Author starts by teaching some of the important terms, followed by life cycle of eBay products. This discussion sets you up with tools for later discussion in book.
2. This is followed by key item and models you should know for selling items on eBay (i. e. Product, Price, Placement and Promotion).
3. Author then launches into his 10 strategies. They are all very well. In my opinion could set you up to compete with other seller and get better price for your product.
4. There are good case studies towards the end.

I think this book has all going for it - its excellent for every one who is bronze to gold tear power seller or wants to be one. Book is very well written and it is clear that Scott Wingo knows what he is talking about. We used pretty much all of the strategies given in this book and our business went from no power seller to Gold Power Seller level. My only complaint is that it doesn't cover issues that face higher tier power sellers. Perhaps Scott Wingo will decide to write another book - I am ready to buy his books any time and in mean time I am not giving this one up.

In case if you are eBay seller and looking for books I suggest following books as well:

1. Tax Loopholes for eBay Sellers (good discussion around tax)
2. eBay Timesaving Techniques for Dummies (It has some neat tricks for smaller power sellers).

Best eBay Book Out There!
Some of them are pretty good, but none comes close to this book. There are a lot of eBay books on the market, many geared toward eBay businesses. While there are some honest books on eBay, most are either self-promotional or too vague to really be of any help.

Scot Wingo's book is intelligently written and gets down to the nitty gritty. Granted, I just recently got a business degree, so I'm on the same level as a lot of his sometimes difficult terminology and concepts. And it's not easy reading. But it's the best I've come across--and I've read a good deal of what's out there.
