eBay Hackse-Commerce tips and tricks for auction success eBay is one of the big eCommerce success stories - a giant marketplace where over 20 million goods of all description are being bought and sold at the astonishing rate of $680 every second of the day.
All this is advice based on first-hand experience. He's a seasoned buyer and seller, and he even reveals some of the mistakes he has made. There is a dizzying array of checks and balances to promote fairness and minimise cheating on eBay. The auction process works through interlocking systems of trust, public feedback, posted reputations, and third-party arbitration for any disputes. He deals with an amazing range of skills: page design, eCommerce payments and banking, digital photography, scripting (if you want to maximise control) public relations (dealing with buyers or sellers) and mail order techniques for shipping items you sell. Finally, for those who want to open a serious business, he explains the steps for running a full time store on eBay. You can also join their affiliate program and 'make money whilst you are asleep'. You might want to start with just a little part-time hobby, or you could become a serious eCommerce day-trader. Either way, everything you need to know about taking part in the world's biggest auction is covered here. The latest edition has been completely revised and updated to make use of an array of new tools and features, as well as to reflect the changes in the eBay API, eBay's policies, and the general practices of its increasingly sophisticated users. © Roy Johnson 2004 [other E-COMMERCE books] David A.
